On the nose, "Le Passule" offers a complex bouquet, where notes of ripe fruit such as apricot and peach stand out, enriched by hints of honey and vanilla.

On the palate, the wine is an explosion of sweet yet balanced flavors, with good acidity that makes it surprisingly fresh despite its sweetness. The texture is rich and almost oily, with a long and persistent finish that brings back the fruity and spicy notes already perceived on the nose.
