Tasting

Notes

The nose first reveals a lovely toasty undertone, before delicate hints of honey and candied fruit, notably apricot, round out its aromatic complexity. Gradually, subtle accents of fresh hazelnuts emerge, adding extra depth and elegance to the whole. On the palate, candied citrus fruits dominate, harmoniously blended with aniseed and menthol. Although this cuvée still retains a lovely degree of freshness, it is already showing the first signs of a promising development, promising maturation full of nuance and refinement.
