Tasting notes
A generous and elegant wine. Light golden colour. Intense nose of flower, brioche and candied lemon aromas, evolving towards nuances of grilled hazelnut and spice as the wine matures. On the palate, the wine is straightforward, with a nice texture and finesse. It has a long aftertaste where floral and gingerbread notes dominate.
Vinification
Very slow pressing so as to respect fruit. Fermentation under strict temperature control. No added yeasts or enzymes are used. The wine goes directly into barrels after decanting it to reduce sediment.
Ageing
In French oak barrels (25% new) for 12 months.
Food pairing
Excellent as an aperitif or paired with lobsters or other seafood, a variety of cheeses, baked trout or delicate chicken dishes.
