This cuvée, a play on words that riffs on the title of a famous song, expresses a homecoming. It has a fresh and wonderful aroma. The aroma of white flowers and white fruits is accompanied by a hint of toast. It has volume, yet is clean and smooth to drink. The finish is delicately salty, continuing into a beautiful, long aftertaste.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
The delicate and elegant aroma is impressive. The aromas that rise from the glass are white flowers such as acacia and chamomile, ripe white peach and pear, and a hint of honey and almond. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the firm structure and rounded texture, and the slightly thick texture spreads pleasantly. The wood elements from aging are modest, and the flavor of vanilla and toast is faintly felt, giving the whole a complexity and depth. The finish has an elegant bitterness and minerality, leaving a long aftertaste with a firm impression.

Pairing
Blanquette de Vorailles (chicken in cream sauce), sole meunière, Comté and other hard, aged cheeses
