Tasting Note
Aromatic floral core (linden/wild flowers) with candied/dried fruit (apricot, fig), bright citrus lift, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg; full, smooth palate and long, honeyed finish.

Production Method
Double-distilled from Ugni Blanc; eaux-de-vie exclusively from the Borderies cru, matured in fine-grained French oak casks (Tronçais/Limousin) and bottled as single-cru expressions or aged blends.
