Pale straw in colour with bright golden highlights. On the nose, a rich harmony of grapefruit, ginger and cinnamon, with delicate notes of honey. Smooth and supple on the palate, with aromas of spice, dried and candied fruits, leading to a long, fruity and pleasantly spiced finish.

Serve with best enjoyed as a digestif
The 1985 vintage stands out for its notes of dark fruit, blackberry and blackcurrant, with a characteristic hint of spice. On the palate, a crisp quality and a touch of brightness give this eau-de-vie a lively character, with fine tannins and a lingering finish. It is now at its peak.
