Quartier Libre
A pale-yellow wine with golden reflections. It opens on mineral notes, flint and grapefruit, vine peach, green apple, and rose, to finish on white pepper, coriander, and a hint of musk. Fennel, aniseed and a lovely touch of sweet almond evoke the Mediterranean. In the mouth it is powerful, smooth and taut, with notes of citrus that accompany the ever-present green apple, green pear, lemon and kiwi. Its complexity offers plenty of character from its youth, but this is a wine that also promises great things to come.
