This wine is made from 100% Chenin Blanc vines over 30 years old. The terroir, which includes flint on a south-facing slope, delicately expresses aromas of white peach, honey, and minerals. The firm acidity, silky texture, and long, salty finish make it a perfect complement to seafood and white meat dishes.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Pale lemon yellow with silvery nuances, the glass reveals aromas of white peach, pear, acacia flowers, and honey, layered with mineral notes reminiscent of flint and a subtle smokiness.

When you put it in your mouth, the taut acidity outlines the wine, and the dense, transparent fruitiness that is unique to Chenin Blanc spreads.

With a smooth texture derived from lees aging and a long, salty finish, this is a gourmet wine that combines elegance and power.

Pairing
Scallop carpaccio, asparagus and parmesan risotto,
Thin tart with caramelized onions and fresh chevre
