THE SILKEN GOWN

Finished in Chardonnay de Bourgogne French Oak casks.

Lavish layers of silken texture ripple in the gentle breeze, catching the vivid light of the stunning French coastline, glowing resplendently. Shimmering gold, kissed by the gentle fig and citrus aromas of the coastal air, the stunning gown possesses an indulgent allure. Luminous and enchanting, it is the masterpiece of a silk atelier.

Nose: A mild nose-feel, clean and crisp. The light top notes are green and fruity, suggesting fresh-cut green apple, white grapes and a hint of pear, all combined in a juicy fruit salad and supported after a while by a golden, butter-smooth suggestion of crème anglaise on a puff-pastry base. There’s a note of spun honey in the development. A drop of water enhances the freshness and fruitiness.

Palate: At natural strength, smooth in feel, with light, velvet-smooth layers of texture and a taste that is toffee-sweet to start, balanced by a splash of golden yellow fruit acidity and light spiciness. Overall, crisp and clear yet also richly rounded. A dash of water rounds and integrates these tastes, bringing out the delightful smooth balance.

Finish: Of medium length, finishing spicy, with a lovely smoothness. A dash of water soothes the spiceness.
