This single-plot cuvée is made using only grapes harvested a second time, after waiting for them to ripen even further than their peak ripeness. Aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and white flowers are layered with subtle nuances of honey and flint. The concentrated fruit flavors are balanced by vibrant acidity, and the wine has a long, refined finish full of minerality, beautifully expressing the unique character of its terroir.

Sautéed scallops with lemon butter sauce, roasted chicken breast with thyme and white wine sauce
Carpaccio of white fish (such as sea bass or flounder) with citrus dressing
