Tasting (Long)
A beautiful pal gold colour, the nose is subtle and elegant. On the palate it is creamy and round, has musky and spicy overtones along with aromas of exotic fruits, pineapple with a firm backbone and nice balance.
Tasting (Short)
A well established family domaine at Les Berthiers. Elegant and well balanced with a light smoky aroma but wonderfully flavoured and delicious length on the finish.
