Odé d’Aydie

AOP Pacherenc du Vic Bilh

This vibrant, golden wine shows subtle silver highlights. Powerful and complex on the nose, it presents a sophisticated bouquet that intertwines lively notes of lemon and grapefruit with subtle traces of vanilla and honey. Very soft attack leading into a very refreshing liveliness. The lasting finish is both aromatic and enduring, characterized by hints of bitter almond. This aromatic and structured wine is proof that Pacherencs can hold a place among the great dry whites.
