Region: Normandy - Pays d’Auge - France
Tasting notes:
Its fruity taste is unique; the attack is frank and presents flavors of crystallized quince, Tatin apple pie and spices. It then opens slowly towards aromas of dried fruits, then grapes and prune.
The mouth is complex, and opens on aromas of coffee grains, new leather and tobacco. Honey and hazelnut invite you to a final pinnacle of an exceptional length.
Story:
