Notes of degustation
This rich, red clay-limestone soil, in which the vines, planted in 1950, delve deep, gives the wine the round character of great white wines, underpinned and balanced by a lovely mineral structure. Fourteen months ageing on the lees draw out the natural qualities of this exceptional wine. It is already beautifully full and long, with notes of flowers, yellow fruit and citrus, when young. It is even more surprising with age – undergoing a veritable metamorphosis. It takes on a golden hue and even more body and substance.
Side dishes:
White meat in a cream sauce, scallops, lobster, good quality fish, or cheeses.
