SENSORY DISCOVERY by Didier Coutenceau - Oenologist Complex nose of candied fruits (apricot, quince), suave floral notes, citrus zest, tobacco, and gentle spices. Smooth, delightfully generous palate, with superb aromatic presence. Very harmonious balance of gustatory volume and structural tension, velvety texture, and vigor, with remarkable persistence. Beautiful reflections of its terroir and vintage, promising a serene future.
