Aroma: fresh walnut, morel

Palate: green apple, walnut, vanilla, exotic fruit

Savagnin picked at the edge of overripeness and held six years under the veil. Clavelin records a pale golden robe, a complex nose of fresh walnut and morel, and a powerful palate of green apple and walnut closing on vanilla and exotic fruit.
