Tasting Notes

Aroma

The nose is frank, pleasant and intense. Dominant candied aromas of autumn fruit, mirabelle plum, quince, mushroom and honey. Aeration amplifies these scents, revealing orgeat and a complex roasted, smoky register. The nose, already very open, reveals a perfect varietal profile, with the first hints of terroir. Excellent!!!

Appearance

The color is lemon-yellow with light reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent.

Palate

The attack on the palate is full-bodied and mellow, with a full-bodied alcohol base. The mid-palate is lively, marked by pearlescence. The noble range of aromas on the nose continues, with autumn fruit, quince, mirabelle plum, button mushroom, orgeat, honey and smoky, toasty notes. A touch of bitterness. The finish is long, 12-13 caudalies, with fine vivacity and persistent bitterness. Voluminous and compact, the balance is tasty and endowed with a racy, dazzling aromatic palette. The dimension of the terroir is already expressed. A great wine in the making.

Vinification

Pressing of whole grapes, static racking. Fermentation in thermocontrolled tuns from 1 to 4 months. Matured on fine lees during 8 months.

Food Matching

Pair with foie gras shavings and honey-stewed mirabelle plums, roast veal with quince and rosemary, Chinese-style glazed pork or a soft cheese with a washed rind, such as Epoisses.
