Tasting Notes:

Colour: The colour of Gentiane de Lure is accentuated, yellow with aged gold reflections.

Nose: The vegetal nose of gentian roots is complicated by a citrus note as well as forest undergrowth and spice, which can be reminiscent of curry.

Palate: In the mouth, the attack is fresh on the citrus, the end is more bitter on the gentian. The mouth intensity is powerful with a bitter and tonic taste.
