PAPA ROUYO 1 an 2022 Habitation Velier

Nose : Rich, concentrated. On the first nose, incredibly intense fragrances of honeysuckle take centre stage. Allowed to breathe, candied ginger and nutmeg notes accentuate the aroma palette’s heady character. Lingering on, aromas of cane sugar and precious wood are revealed (oak stave).

Appearance : Or soutenu.

Palate : Clean, sharp. In stark contrast to the nose, the attack is vanilla and almost milky (yoghurt, crème fraîche). Candied citrus fruit (lemon, grapefruit) and exotic fruit (pineapple, plantain banana) create a rich transition. The end of the palate is slightly fibrous.

Overall : Long, silky. The peach-skin-like finish returns to the candied ginger notes of the nose while developing creamy toffee flavours. Staying close to the sugar cane, the after-taste is refreshed with very fresh juice.
