Presentation
The Cuvée Aubin is a single-plot selection from the Fraichefont estate, vinified to express a more pronounced personality than the classic white Pineau blend. The 2022 vintage — sunny and concentrated — yields a cuvée at once round and taut, where grape ripeness meets aromatic precision. A signature bottle in the La Halte Rouillacaise range.
Tasting notes
- Eye : Bright vivid-gold robe.
- Nose : Rich, precise nose: ripe grape, mirabelle plum, fresh apricot, acacia blossom. A honeyed touch wraps the whole.
- Palate : Suave, concentrated attack. The palate unfolds with dense substance, supported by a fine acidity that balances the liqueur. Notes of yellow fruit, honey and citron zest.
- Finish : Long, fresh finish that extends the aromatic palette.
