The nose is delicately layered with citrus fruit, green apple, white flowers, and a subtle toasted note that adds complexity and charm. The palate is elegant and well balanced, with lively acidity, a supple texture, and flavors of lemon, pear, and peach lifted by hints of brioche and nuts. A long, mineral finish brings extra finesse and clearly reflects the chalk-driven terroir of Avize.
