An intense bouquet, but of particular finesse, with scents of almond

Dry, crisp and elegant, with a very persistent rounded sensation in which
one finds a light fruity note of ripe apples, an attractive hint of yeast and
sweet almonds and a vaguely aromatic undertone that is typical of Chardonnay. |
