Description - Oeil, Nez, Bouche, Domaine Alain Geoffroy

Description

The eye

Light gold with slight greenish glints. Bright, luminous and limpid.

The nose

is full of sunshine, joy, beauty and maturity. A rich, splendid bouquet of flowers. A basket of fruits on a fresh summer morning.

The mouth

is full and round - a perfect balance of rich, powerful flavours and finesse, mellowness and freshness. Everything that was so appealing to the nose reaffirms itself in the mouth. The finish leaves us blissfully happy with mouthfilling voluptuousness.
