Advice

Serving

Visual appearance
Attractive golden color with silver reflections.
At nose
Complex nose of yellow fruit (peach, apricot, exotic fruit) opening to floral notes (orange blossom, white flower) and hints of toast and vanilla.
On the palate
Beautiful balance between volume and tension. The aromas of yellow fruit and flowers are accompanied by milky notes that bring greed and length.
Food pairings
Ideal with a cassolette of scallops with citrus fruit, a risotto with green asparagus and Parmesan, a veal chop with grilled rosemary or cream and mature cheeses (Chaource, Comté 18 months, Mont d'or).
