Winemaker's Tasting Notes: True to its name, the wine is indeed a pleasure: intense and perfumed. Mon Plaisir displays an exquisite bouquet of lemon cream, vine blossom, and candied grapefruit, with subtle honey notes. The palate is rich, full-bodied and creamy with beautiful nuances of stone fruits, pear, dry apricot and brioche. A mineral character with hints of pain grillé and hazelnut complete the mouthfeel of this wine and its long finish.
