Wine:

Predominantly made from Grenache Gris grapes, the 2015 Chrysopée is a great Mediterranean white wine. Very intense, almost golden, it offers from the first glance the height of its ambitions. For it is a wine with a gastronomic vocation, with rich, ripe and fresh flavors of fruit, which takes on these attributes in the palate, with an unstoppable freshness, vibrancy and salinity. A superb Mediterranean white wine, to be savored or kept for a few more years.

Nose:
