Tasting notes

The La Folletière 2020 reveals a luminous golden hue in the glass. The aromatic profile is intensely fragrant, dominated by notes of baked apple, honeyed pear, and quince, underpinned by subtle hints of caramel and a delicate floral lift. On the palate, it presents a luscious sweetness beautifully counterbalanced by a refreshing acidity, offering a harmonious and expansive mouthfeel. Flavours of stewed apples, dried apricots, and a touch of spice persist through a long, elegant finish, making it a sophisticated accompaniment to desserts or a contemplative apéritif.
