A velvety palate is complemented by its firm and elegant body. (6 x 75 cl)

Chardonnay and Parellada are blended after careful fermentation of a percentage in Limousin oak barrels, thus retaining the character of each variety. The result is a magnificent, intense wine. Thanks to the presence of the Chardonnay, the wine is intensely aromatic and full-bodied, with a profusion of flowery notes over a fruity background and a hint of fennel. On the palate the wine has a long aftertaste and is silky with an elegant fullness. A touch of vanilla in the finish is indicative of the wine's short ageing in French oak. (12 x 75 cl)
Intense voluptuous bouquet with aromatic notes of various fruits and plants . On the palate the wine is round and full-bodied and has excellent structure. Elegant aftertaste with a citric edge. Sauvignon Blanc forms the basis of this unique wine, partially fermented and aged in new American oak. (6 x 75 cl)
