This wine presents itself in a brilliant deep golden yellow color. The powerful yet seductive nose delivers ripe aromas of white stone fruit and pear, citrus essences and beeswax. Mineral and iodized touches reminiscent of oyster shells and white floral notes also make their appearance.
On the palate, the attack is frank and powerful. The acid balance is magnificently precise, between fatness and freshness. Mineral and lively, the texture is nonetheless dense and silky. Flavors of white stone fruit mingle with vegetal notes and citrus zest. The finish is long, mineral and stony, underlining the characteristic expression of this exceptional terroir. A wine with excellent evolutionary potential (for the more patient, put a few bottles in the cellar to discover the evolution towards honeyed and almond notes).
It will make a fine pairing at the table with lobster and grilled langoustines, as well as poultry in sauce. It will also provide a fine counterpoint to the iodine of oysters.
