Pale, green-tinged color. Enticing aromas of lime and mint. Juicy, sweet and easygoing, with an enveloping attack and lovely inner-palate sweetness of citrus and pineapple fruit. Elegant, lacy wine that remains quite supple despite its firm mineral spine. Thanks to its early appeal, this is a very popular restaurant wine in France, says director Stephane Follin-Arbelet, who noted that Fevre owns parcels in all three climats of Montmains, with Butteaux bringing mineral character, Foret elegance and Montmains fat and richness.
