CHATEAU DE BORDENEUVE WHITEHE AU CITRON

This creation from Bordeneuve combines a Blanche d'Armagnac with citrus fruits. The colour is crystalline, bright and clear. On the nose, powerful and generous, candied lemon and grapefruit blend with notes of almond, lightly peppered. The palate opens rich, while the whole retains an elegance and a sensation of freshness that is hard to pin down. Bottled at 40% vol., it is best enjoyed very cold, as a summer digestif, or lengthened with sparkling water over ice.
