Tasting Notes: Pale gold with a bright, luminous edge. The nose is expressive and layered, combining white peach, ripe pear, apricot, citrus zest, acacia blossom, and a subtle herbal and mineral lift. The palate is textured and dry, with generous stone-fruit depth, fresh acidity, and a long, polished finish marked by spice, saline tension, and a light honeyed nuance.

Classified as IGP Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert - Cité d'Aniane, the wine reflects the estate's philosophy of minimal intervention and deep respect for the character of the site.
Food Pairing: Roast chicken, grilled sea bass, lobster, risotto with spring vegetables, goat cheese, or poultry in a light cream sauce. Serve slightly chilled.
