100% Vermentino, cépage blanc provençal, ce vin or pâle est juste irrésistible. Comment ne pas succomber à ses notes florales, sa touche fenouil, sa chair juteuse, ronde à l’extérieur, croquante au cœur et fraîche de bout en bout ? Idéal à l’apéritif avec des olives vertes, puis à table avec un loup grillé.
4,5 étoiles ****(*) Vieux rose léger. Nez fleuri, avec de la fraise, des notes de pomelo. Bouche fruitée, épicée, une belle finale équilibrée. Pour apéritif et tapas.
