Tastingnote
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.

Food pairings
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!
