Description
Colour: Brilliant pale gold, edged with subtle green reflections, a luminous promise of freshness and vitality. Nose: From its deep, decomposed granite and quartzite soils comes a strikingly mineral perfume – saline and crystalline – which frames the fruit with precision. The nose is more tempered and restrained than previous vintages, yet profoundly expressive. Subtle citrus peel, white peach, and delicate floral tones are lifted by a sea-breeze freshness. Palate: A textured, full mid-palate carries the hallmark Chenin richness, yet it is sculpted by taut minerality and an almost saline edge. Layers of orchard fruit and stone fruit unfold seamlessly, carried on a spine of fine acidity. The wine shows greater fullness and depth than its predecessors, with a tactile Chenin texture that is both moreish and refined.
Food Pairing
This wine will be well suited to creamy dishes as well as light summer lunches.
