The Saint-Chinian terroir is better known for its red wines than its white wines. However, this seemingly rocky and arid terroir is very diverse. The altitude, coolness and depth of certain soils are perfectly suited to the production of great white wines. This cuvée has a brilliant, golden yellow colour. The nose reveals aromas of white flowers and nectarine, followed by notes of melon and apricot. A few hints of acacia blossom and fine herbs punctuate this aromatic nose. On the palate, we find notes of peach, pear, fresh almond, fennel and aniseed, all enveloped in a beautiful glycerine texture. The tannins are fresh and round, and the wine has a lovely length.
