Tasting notes
Colour: Golden yellow colour.
Nose: Powerful and rich nose with notes of ripe grapes, honey and fine oak. Beautiful aromatic density with autumnal nuances.
Palate: In the mouth, it is a mature and full-bodied wine. The initial fruity and woody aromas give way to notes of grilled almonds. A salivating acidity accompanies the flavors and gives fullness and vivacity to this wine.
Food and wine pairing
It can be served and enjoyed simply as an aperitif with foie gras toast. Not surprisingly, it has a natural affinity with fine-textured fish or noble meats, which it can accompany without dominating. It is also a perfect accompaniment to shellfish, grilled lobster, lobster or prawns in sauce.
Serving suggestions
Best served at a temperature of 12 to 14 °C.
Ageing potential
Can be laid down in a cellar for 8 years.
