SPECIFICITIES
Winemaking
The harvests are carried out by hand. In the cellars, the winemaker prefers short maceration periods to ensure a delicate style of wine. The terroir is enhanced by ageing the wines in barrels, half barrique and cask. The wood allows for gentle oxygenation of the wines in order to hone their style.
SPECIFICITIES
Palate
Very well-balanced wine with a good structure and buttery note. It offers richness and amplitude in the mouth; its material is voluminous. The final leaves us a memory on the solemnity.
WINE TASTING
Food pairing
It is a faithful companion for your aperitif and pairs beautifully with a scallop (“Noix de St Jacques”) or all type of fish.
