Tasting
L'Apôtre's color is a brilliant golden hue, animated by a fine, energetic effervescence.
The first impression on the nose is one of aromatic intensity, marked by notes of ripe yellow fruit and citrus zest. On aeration, more complex aromas emerge, evoking brioche, toasted almonds and a delicate touch of honey.
On the palate, L'Apôtre seduces with its depth and precision. The attack is ample, revealing candied fruit flavors supported by a lively mineral framework. The rich, structured mid-palate gives way to a lingering, taut, saline finish, the signature of the Trépail terroir from which this cuvée is made.
