This high wine vintage INSTINCT is remarkable for its nice balance between fatness and minerality. Its pale crystalline lemon color with gold tints and nice and delicate exotic fruits flavors place this wine among the top-quality wines following the tradition of excellence in Château Pas du Cerf.

Note de dégustation

COLOR: A bright white with tints from Provence sun.

NOSE: Beautiful aromatic intensity. Aromas of melon, pineapple and some fine appearances of almonds. A little bit behind, we have this menthol side with garrigue and freshness. Rich, complex and fine.

MOUTH: An authentic sensual experience thanks to a strong length in mouth, persistent aromas and minerality. Generous and harmonious wine with a beautiful elegance.
