Tasting notes |
To the eye, this wine is clear and bright with light green and golden reflections. On the nose, there are aromas of white and yellow flowers, such as camomile, broom, and lemon flowers. Fruit scents then appear, with notes of peaches, mirabelles, and ripe melons. On the palate, the attack is fresh and direct, well-balanced with the ample and silky texture of this sunny vintage. This intense wine coats the mouth with its ripe and sweet yellow fruit aromas, spicy notes, and delicate peppery bitterness. Despite a warm and sunny vintage, even though this wine is built on volume, the diplomat has nonetheless managed to retain a beautiful freshness, a harmonious balance, and a persistent length on the palate, with mineral notes and a beautiful salinity. |

Tasting |
Intense garnet red with reflections. The nose is powerful and complex, evoking the scents of Corsica with touches of ripe red fruits, tart (gooseberry and blackcurrant), as well as subtler aromatic plant (myrtle) aromas. The palate is ample with a beautiful length, finely wooded. The characteristic mineral note of the estate is found there. The tannins are elegant, the aftertaste is complex with a persistent aroma supported by ripe fruit notes. |
