The more complex brother from the classic Bergerac of Château Kalian, this wine present a pale yellow color, nose of white flowers and orchard fruits, with time it evolves in pears, star anis, and linden blossom with a buttery, brioche and toasted oak aromas. It is velvety, structured and armonious on the palate, with great freshness from the Sauvignon, and smoothness from the more mellow grapes of Sémillon and Muscadelle. The finish is very strong on oak aromas of brioche, buttery biscuits but still with minerality.
