Visual: golden yellow
Nose: rather shy on opening, revealing a mineral top note. Saline and chalky scents appear, followed by pastry aromas and enhanced by an elegant hint of wood. On aeration, it releases notes of ripe lemon and orange.
Palate: smooth and supple attack, offering a juicy mouthfeel delivered by flavours of yellow fruits. Generously textured and fleshy, freshness provided by the yellow fruit aromas. Warm finish perfectly balanced by the solid mineral backbone. There you feel the terroir!
Serving temperature: 10 °C
Food pairing: foil-baked sea bass, roasted guinea fowl with spices, veal stew.
