Description
Golden yellow with soft amber tints. Very bright and gentle sparkle visible throughout the wine The subtle bouquet, on the first nose, opens out gradually to reveal spring-like notes of fresh citrus fruit (lemon tree rather than lemon fruit) combined with warm, almost smoky, mineral aromas, followed by notes of lightly toasted almonds, one of the signs of the ageing in oak foudres. The wine is wide, energetic and with talc-like chalkiness initially, gently coating the palate. It is both soft and rich with a full-bodied, silky mouthfeel. The finish is long and persistent.
Food Pairing
Pork, Rish Fish (Salmon, tuna etc), Shellfish, Mild and soft cheese
