Tasting notes

This blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reveals a magnificent hue of ripeness, with golden-yellow highlights and a subtle string of bubbles.
On the nose, Les Deux Terres delights with aromas of white and black fruit and hawthorn. Absolute delicacy and gourmandise enhance the roundness and chalky length of the terroir.
A frank, straightforward wine, designed for connoisseurs. The dosage is deliberately very low so as not to affect the original character of this cuvée, Les Deux Terres.

Ageing potential: Between 2 to 5 years in the cellar at 15°C.

Food pairings

This wine has all the power and structure of pinot noir, although the finesse of chardonnay dominates. It deserves to be served in a large wine glass, between 8°C and 10°C !
It goes perfectly with savoury dishes such as farmhouse guinea fowl with sour apples, barbecued prime rib or ewe's milk cheese. It will delight your taste buds with roast peaches or, more daringly, walnut-based desserts.
