TASTING NOTES
Bright lemon colour. The nose is intense and mineral, with notes of flint, chamomile flower and apricot, wrapped in a subtle smoky note. On the palate, it shows great volume, excellent balance between structure and freshness, and a vibrant, persistent finish with mineral tension.
Food Pairing
Pairs perfectly with more structured dishes such as confit cod, lobster rice, or aged sheep cheese. Also excellent with umami-rich Asian cuisine, including dishes with miso or vegetable tempura.
Vinification
Manual harvest in 15 kg boxes. Manual selection on a sorting table. Fermentation in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature, with skin contact adapted to the grape variety’s characteristics.
Barrel Aging
6 months in new and used French oak barrels of 500 L.
