Tasting notes
Feuille sèche
- Appearance: twisted leaves and large downy buds
- Colour: khaki green, from pale to very dark
- Scents: vanilla, chocolate and woody aromas, combined with yellow flower, animal and undergrowth notes
Infusion
- Colour: khaki (green with yellow glints)
- Scents: a floral attack followed by a planty, undergrowth note (damp earth), softened by touches of vanilla and cooked yellow fruit
Liqueur
- Texture: the astringency that fills the mouth gives it a smooth texture and ensures the liquor lingers
- Flavour: acidic and slightly bitter
- Aromas: initially floral and planty, enhanced by a strong mineral note on the middle and back of the palate, with accents of animal notes
- Aromatic profil and lenght in the mouth: beautifully well balanced. The mild notes at the start and the lovely lingering freshness are followed by a fresh, raw planty note, accentuated by a few touches of fresh fruit
