The palate is fruity, well-balanced, suave and offers roundness, a good definition, a fine juiciness, precision, a small fat, a pulpy/fresh/juicy fruit as well as a small juicy/acidulous/pulpy frame and fat. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy apricot, juicy nectarine, small notes of William pear associated with touches of small yellow fruits as well as a hint of pineapple, quenette, discreet hints of bee wax and an imperceptible hint of garrigue (in the background).
