In the glass
Aroma: spice, dried fruit
Palate: spice, candied fruit
Half Bajocien limestone and half Lias clay. The must is muted with marc before it can ferment, which is what separates a mistelle from a fortified wine, and the liqueur then rests two years in cask. The estate describes a powerful nose and a suave palate on spice notes.
