Description
Weather conditions:
The first months of the year were particularly cold and dry, which led to a delay in bud break, which then accelerated with the near summer weather of April. The first half of June, cold and humid, disturbed the flowering, then the second part of the month was milder. July then ensured a beautiful growth of the vines, until the harvest, which took place on quite normal dates.

Tasting notes:
Colour: amber, with nice copper reflections. The nose is very floral, on reheas, honeysuckle, spring honey, slightly toasted, and a touch of liquorice stick. Sweet and fine mouth, with notes of Java pepper, cedar, and a hint of vanilla. Beautiful persistence and very nice sweetness.
