- TASTING NOTE: Aromas of fresh fruit, such as lemon orange and pear, are first predominant. They are followed by light spicy notes (smoky, gingerbread). On the palate, the attack is ample with a lot of fullness and power that then evolve towards a remarkable freshness and minerality that support the finish, a finish characterized by an important vivacity. La Chartreuse 2015 can be summed in one word - delicious.
