Wine Enthusiast

“A wine of great integrity and clarity, with the energy of the terroir and the vintage.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2015). A complex yet subtle cuvée that delights with aromas of pear and banana blended with fresh notes of citrus and spices. The oak is well-integrated and complements a pleasant sensation of freshness on the finish. This is undoubtedly a white wine to enjoy!

Food and wine pairings

This wine offers a very wide range of pairing possibilities; it pairs wonderfully with smoked charcuterie, complements salmon in court bouillon or other delicately prepared or even grilled fish, and pairs beautifully with white meat or a dry sheep’s milk cheese from our valleys. Hence the following pairing suggestions: langoustines with Thai basil, prawns flambéed with anise, traditional veal blanquette, tender game such as pigeon or guinea fowl...

About the wine:

An intense nose of white fruit and citrus, with a round, full-bodied palate underpinned by a delicate acidity that carries the finish well into the aftertaste. A wine crafted with finesse and subtlety.
