Grapes: 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay

Appearance: Sparkles in chestnuts, yellows and golds

Aroma: First impressions of subtle and fruity apples, apricots, with fresh almonds and hazelnuts. Hints of elderflower and coriander seed add complexity. Second impressions are intense aromas of brioche and biscuit.
