A generous vintage
Harvesting began early in the season to harvest the early grape varieties before they were too ripe. Rains in September led to an increase in juice yield as well as a rebalancing of the musts. The perfect health of the grapes made it possible to produce rich, full-bodied white wines with good length on the palate.
Very pale yellow color, beautifully light with green reflections. The nose presents a whole spectacle of southern notes: fennel, almonds, anise and raisins. The finish then has aromas of ripe white fruit and a little nutmeg.
Lush and rich on the palate, yet perfectly balanced by a mineral tension. A generous wine with a lovely freshness.
Pairing recommendation:
As a starter on bread with Colonnata bacon, smoked ham or tapenade, with fried langoustines, poached sea bass fillet with ginger and fresh mint, seafood risotto...
For cheese we recommend Brie, Bleu de Gex or well-ripened Comté, and for dessert, for example, an ice-cold nougat and/or lemon cake.
Drinking temperature: 10 - 12 °C
