A bright, pale yellow-gold robe, the nose offers maturity and elegance with great aromatic intensity: yellow and exotic fruits are followed by notes of dried fruit and delicate, refreshing white flowers. On the palate, the attack is full but fresh, well-balanced between sweetness and salinity. Aromas of mango, pineapple, spices like cinnamon or vanilla and toasted bread. The finish remains mineral. It will best express itself over the years.
Potential: Great white wine for cellaring, 6 - 8 years!
Served between 12-14°C in a large wine glass, where it should blossom for a moment. It enhances fine cuts of veal or poultry in white sauce. It goes perfectly with grilled prawns or lobsters, or foie gras. Try it with chocolate, it's a delight!
