A vintage in which we made fruit and finesse the priority. The nose, still a little buttery, expresses lovely notes of red fruit (redcurrants), dark fruit (blueberries), violets, and light tobacco. On the palate the attack is very smooth and evolves with a fresh, refined texture. Very pleasant, fruity, fullbodied character. A delicious sweetmeat. The finish is moderately long and elegant with notes of fresh fruit and vanilla. Although only recently bottled, this wine already makes a fine accompaniment to numerous dishes or can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif, perhaps enhanced with little fine charcuterie or fresh cheese
