“Power, chalk and elegance” !

Open nose of sweet spices, blood orange, English candy, and candied lemon, evoking minerality.
The palate combines power and elegance! Framed by a chalky minerality, with aromas of blood orange and small red fruits, it then moves on to candied lemon, with a beautiful bitterness, ending the tasting on this powerful note.
Pair with meat (honey-glazed pork ribs), spices (tajine, tian), or Asian cuisine (ramen).
