Lukas FEB23 (base vintage 2020): In the nose red fruit, some yellow fruit, then in the background fine yeast notes. In the mouth fresh and juicy, very nice juicy apple notes, plus hints of raspberry, blackberry and some lemongrass. Very animating with great drinkability.

Tasting FEB20: Base 2017 - Rich, generous aromas despite the freshness and the low dosage (longer yeast storage compared to the past and perpetual reserve makes it so multi-layered), more balance than before, extremely versatile, winey, yet youthful, precise, balanced, floral, herbal, minerality stops, Silex in the ground, chalk flashes in the mouth, anything but an entry!

JM Seleque: "The Identity of our Winery. A wine of friends, for sharing. The expression of our style, pure and fresh, in all circumstances."
