Bright, deep straw yellow hue. Nose is very complex and discreet. In its early youth, the nose is fresh with mineral and citrus notes. After one or two years of cellar-ageing, the first nose is dominated by notes of peaches and pears and then goes on to develop exotic aromas of ripe mango and a floral touch of jasmine and rose with a hint of gunflint.
When young, the wine is fresh on entry and continues with a nice balance between roundness and acidity set off by touches of citrus and minerality. After a year of cellar-ageing, the palate becomes rounder and more elegant with greater length and fat and complex aromas of ripe yellow fruit, flowers and citrus.
Enjoy as an aperitif or pair with a fish or scallop tartare, lobster a la plancha, trout pâté, pike soufflé, sea bass in pastry with sweet and sour sauce, skate in butter or poultry with olives. With a few years of age, the wine's fat and breadth will make it a perfect match for poultry with morels, trout or Lyon-style quenelles.
