Vinification & Aging

• Fermentation with indigenous yeasts.
• Vinification without aggressive settling or technical intervention.
• Aged in oak barrels for 15 to 18 months, without racking or filtration.
• Minimal sulfur, used only at bottling if necessary.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Bright pale yellow with golden highlights.
• Nose: A pure bouquet blending fresh citrus, white flowers, chalk and a subtle smoky note.
• Palate: Ample, linear and tense. Dense texture balanced by crystalline acidity and fine salinity. Long, persistent finish with remarkable precision.
• Style: A vertical, energetic and pure wine — both ample and chiselled.

Food Pairing

• Ideal with noble fish (sea bass, turbot, sole), shellfish, lobster or langoustine.
• Superb with Bresse chicken in cream sauce or morel risotto.
• Excellent with aged hard cheeses (36-month Comté).
