FAUST

ORIGIN OF STAINED GLASS WINDOW :

COMMENTARY :

Orange colour. Flattering and expressive nose with notes of ripe fig, quince, delicate spices, saffron, fresh apricot and bitter orange peels. Very dry, charming but rather austere, playful with smooth tannins and a fine volume, this wine is deep and delicate. A wine vinified to sublimate amphora’s aging, chiseled fruit and hints of sweet spices, freshness… Should keep well during a decade at least.
