100% Chardonnay.
Colour: Elegant pale gold with emerald tints.
Nose: A fine bouquet, aromatic, fruity and flowery (green apples, almonds and white flowers).
Palate: Well-balanced, supple and long. The honeyed note is particularly interesting in the context of maturing in new casks, and is in perfect harmony with the wine's full-bodied character. A remarkable length. This is undoubtedly one of the world's truly greatest white wines.
This wine is perfect served with poached turbot and beurre blanc, Bresse chicken with a cream sauce, eel, smoked salmon, trout with almonds, shellfish and veal sweetbreads. It is also an ideal match for Japanese mochi. Try it with foie gras or, for an original flavour combination, duck à l’orange.
Serve ideally at a temperature of around 14°C. (55°F.).
This great white Burgundy can be kept in the cellar up to 10 years.
