A white wine with a delicate and mellow aroma. Fresh aromas of green apples and citrus fruits are layered with nuances of white flowers and herbs, and on the palate, supple acidity and rich minerality harmonize. Combining youthfulness and depth, this elegant wine will add a touch of elegance to your dinner table.

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Bright pale lemon yellow.

When you tilt the glass, the first thing that comes to mind is the fresh fruity aroma of white pear and green apple, followed by white flowers (lily of the valley and white peach petals), lemon peel, and a silky minerality that quietly spreads out.

When you put it in your mouth, the cool, sharp attack gradually gives way to the richness of the fruit, and the nuances of grapefruit and yellow peach carry over into a pleasant aftertaste.

The minerals give it a solid structure, and the finish is long and lingering with a slight saltiness.

An elegant piece with a crystalline texture.

Pairing
Pan-fried scallops with lemon butter sauce
Goat cheese
White fish meunière with browned butter and herbs
