Wine characteristics :
This wine is covered with a glorious colour, shinny with green reflection. This tone increases with time. His bouquet gathers flavours like hawthorn, mature grape, almond paste, hazelnut, amber, lemongrass, green apple. The lactic (butter, hot croissant) and mineral (flint) aromas are well present, as well as the honey. Body and bouquet merge in a subtle harmony : all the charm of an inflexible nature and a notable concentration.
Wine pairings :
This wine is designed to honor high cuisine : big crustaceans cooked in stock, poached and creamed fishes, poultry liver paté. The epicureans will know how to blend them as well with mature and very odorous cheeses : Munster, Boulette d’Avesne, the blue cheeses and old Comté.
