The wine is bright, with remarkable clarity and brilliant golden hues. This elegant wine presents a brilliant gold color and fruity aromas of peach, lemon and green apple. This bouquet is completed with lighter notes of jasmine and acacia as well as buttery and mineral hints. The minerality character of the limestone terroir, is the backbone of this wine. The clay soil of Pouilly gives it its fruity aspect and amplitude.
