Food and wine pairings
A déguster sur une cuisine salée aux pommes, aux raisins, aux coings, aux figues. Sur un feuilleté d’asperges, une lotte dans une sauce aux girolles, un filet mignon avec des fruits d’automne. Accord très agréable avec le foie gras et les ris de veau accompagnés de morilles...<br/>

Review by Mr. SEBASTIEN R. Published on 12/31/2012
Aromas as deep and complex as a sweet wine, but without the sugar! A true delight on the palate, with richness, freshness, and a lovely finish. Precise and complex: a real treat!
