Quartier Libre
A very pale yellow with greenish gleams. The nose is very aromatic with extremely good balance, with green apple, pear, cardamom, elderberry flower and white blossom, finishing on notes of white pepper and coriander. Smooth, fresh and supple in the mouth without excess exuberance but superb breadth. It has notes of acacia flowers, exotic fruit such as pineapple, grapefruit, and kiwi, pulled together on the finish by a magnificent tension all in menthol and aniseed. A wine that is a true child of the south – to enjoy as an aperitif, or at table.
