Tasting Notes
With a brilliant hue, the 2023 Éclat bursts with aromas of sweet pineapple and fresh citrus. On the palate, layered notes of limoncello and tangerine bring a vibrancy, balanced by the rich notes of crème brûlée and a delicate hint of honeysuckle. A streak of chalky minerality adds precision, enhancing the wine’s fresh, clean character. Medium-bodied with a lush mouthfeel and bright acidity, Éclat lingers gracefully on the palate, leaving a lasting, elegant finish.
