Aroma
An open and charming nose evokes the refreshing zest of yuzu, complemented
by floral tones reminiscent of mimosa and a delicate iodized touch.
Palate
The attack
is clean, delicately powdery, and the wine shows a fine personality. It broad,
concentrated acidity provides structure and depth, enhancing the wine’s overall
character. Notes of lime, yellow flowers, and a hint of exotic fruit emerge. The
finish, carried by subtle bitters, reveals a maritime note that triggers intense
salivation.
Vinification
The grapes are handpicked and whole bunches are pressed. There is static
settling of the lees. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled tuns,
followed by rising on the less for 8 months.
Food Matching
To be paired urgently with grouper tartare with citrus fruits, mashed potatoes
with smoked eel, linguine with spider crab or goat’s milk cheese, such as
Valençay... Serving temperature: 12°C.
