Inviting yellow-golden colour. Bitter orange and grapefruit with a buttery touch (from the barriques-fermented Chard). Medium body with some finesse and very good acidity that makes for a lively and refreshing palate. A good everyday white!

Very succesful blend with clear and pronounced orange and grapefruit flavours. Good body with lively acidity and just the right amount of vegetality for non-fans of Sauvignon! Crispy and zesty, this is great value indeed!

Dark ruby with very inviting, peppery nose showing mostly secondary and tertiary aromas of bitter chocolate, truffles, aubergines, with an attractive, intensive caramelised kiss. Very good structure, deep and powerful, savoury and long. It's lively and has definitely some way to go (2-3 years) until it shows its capabilities fully. Excellent choice from this particular year. Buy with confidence!
