THE VINTAGE
The spring was rainy and the summer very dry. 2018 is one of the warmer vintage we have ever had. The low temperatures during the night maintain a good level of acidity to keep the freshness of the flavor of Les Arums de Lagrange.
TASTING NOTE
A great aromatic complexity, notes of citrus, pineapple, peach and mango. The 2018 Arums will surprise you with its richness and volume in the mouth supported by a nice acidity.
