The nose reveals white peach, nectarine and Meyer lemon layered with vanilla, lightly roasted nuts and subtle brioche notes. On the palate, it is smooth and generously fruited with balanced acidity and a gentle creamy texture that adds richness without heaviness. Layers of stone fruit, citrus and soft nougat unfold with freshness and finesse, finishing clean, vibrant and quietly savoury with excellent balance and versatility.
