Jérémie's tasting notes
On the nose: It is indeed a clairin, we find herbaceous, slightly smoky, mineral notes, ripe fruits tending towards resin and sugarcane.
On the palate: the initial taste is smooth and sweet, followed by a subtle spiciness that releases aromas of macerated fruit and vegetal chili, complemented by a few mild spices. The warmth fills the palate and carries its aromas with it.
The finale: We're still on the topic of spices and the fruitiness of chili peppers.
