In the glass
Aroma: fresh walnut, spice, almond, green apple
Palate: walnut, green apple, curry
Late-picked Savagnin from grey and blue Lias marl, six years and three months under the veil. Ligier describes a deep golden robe, a nose of fresh walnut, spice, almond and green apple, and a powerful palate with fine acidity and exceptional persistence. Open two hours ahead and serve at 14 to 16 degrees.
