Tasting | The gray scents are immediate and precise: carbon, pencil lead. The transparency is illustrated through the freshness of white flowers, spring humus, sweet spices, iodine and lemon salt. The feeling of extraction, concentration and then great education magnetizes. Very generous, the yellow fruits with stone on a butter cookie: apricot, mirabelle radiate a great maturity. The olfactory ascent is empyreumatic, it sublimates the smoked, the burned, the pure grey salt, the soft fragrances of white truffles, and cashew nuts. Tenderness, richness and unctuousness contrast the palate of a tense acidity, sharpened by green, yellow and apple citrus. The fat of the nuts imposes itself as a protective film of an immediate connection to the raw material placed on its source of birth and earthly life. |
