This Chardonnay has a pale yellow colour and a pleasant smell of caramel and dried fruits.
In mouth, this harmonious medium body wine has a round supple attack, after, a fresh and flowerfull evolution. There is a good balance between the flower taste and the supple attack. But it doesn't coat the palate.The final of this dry wine is long, we keep the test in mouth.
