The vintner’s notes

• Nice pale yellow robe with slight green glints.
• The nose is pleasing with delicious citrus notes and white fruits like pear!
• Simultaneously fresh and fleshy in the mouth, this white wine is original: minerality, strength and freshness, closer to Loire or Burgundy type of wines than Languedoc ones. Nice elegance!

Wine & Food

• Ideal on classic roasted chicken or turkey, Saint Jacques melted in butter, seafood or goat cheese.
