Tasting notes
A ravishing pale yellow robe with topaz nuances. Time has used its patina to reveal the wine’s complexity. Hawthorn blends with acacia honey, beeswax and marzipan. When it is aerated, the wine resumes its murmurings, quince jelly meets raspberry jam and alternates with bergamot and warm brioche. On the palate it is invigorating, imposing and it teases the taste buds. The bead caresses and balances wild strawberry jam with ripe blood orange. This harmony is extended in a delicate minerality and a lovely bitterness in which hints of mandarin orange come through.
Vinification
The juice is pressed with the press calibrated at low pressure. Only first pressing are used. Vinification by gravity with natural settling, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is non- filtered and not discoloured. 35% of the wines are matured in barrels. Very little sulphites are used.
Ageing
About 10 years in the cellar. Dosage 5,5 g/l.
Food pairing
Perfect as an aperitif. Goes perfectly with exquisite seafood. Serve at 8°C.
