Description
Bright, intense yellow flecked with green. Soft, even effervescence with long-lingering threads of bubbles. Enticing bouquet of pollen, delicately scented spring flowers, honeysuckle, lily of the valley, lemon tree and more concentrated, candied lemon. The nose evolves towards toasty notes, sugared almonds, wheat and cereals, characteristic of the finest Avize Chardonnays. The round and fruity attack gives way to a mineral freshness that is chalky yet also powdery and velvety. There is a hint of cold, humid chalk and a slightly drying sensation which enhances the delicate and well-integrated minerality.
Food Pairing
Pork, Rich fish (salmon, tuna etc), Shellfish, Mild and soft cheese
