- Tasting notes:

Light yellow color and silvery hints. The first nose is an explosion of aromas: honey, spices, yellow fruits (apricot, peach). The second nose is focused on lighter and purer nuances: white flowers, pepper, rose water.

In mouth, the wine is soft and smooth but remains tonic thanks to its beautiful freshness.

Il is a well-balanced and complete wine which will seduce by its aromatic complexity in the nose and its persistence in mouth.

Can be enjoyed with foie gras, exotic cooking and cheeses like munster or époisses.
