TASTING NOTES
A luminous colour:
- Deep rose with hints of topaz
- Coral reflections, beautifully dazzling
- A fine, persistent bead.
A fulfilling, appetizing bouquet
- The bouquet is delectably appetizing.
- Initial notes evoke scents of picking ripe berries under the summer sun: forest berries, wild strawberry, raspberry and currant rounded out with floral, botanical nuances of rhubarb, violet and cocquelicot bonbons.
- A touch of vanilla and pink peppercorn underscore the vintage’s full-fledged maturity.
A WARM, JOYOUS PALATE
The palate evokes joy, calling to mind a carnival with its twirling rides and children laughing over displays of sweets: marshmallows, hard candy, cotton candy and caramel apples. Then come notes of nutmeg, dried fig and black cherry. The Pinot Noir expresses itself with a light, airy elegance, a soft, gentle texture and a finish.
