Terroir and Exposure
This wine comes from a selection of a few rows of Clos des Rocs, managed sustainably without herbicides. The east-facing vines are 70 years old. The shallow terroir consists of reddish soil mixed with limestone stones, with bedrock often found just 30 cm below.
Tasting
With great purity and a golden hue, it has aromas of yellow fruits, almonds, and lime blossom, enhanced by a hint of menthol. The opulent and indulgent palate develops brioche aromas. Creamy, it coats the palate and demonstrates a perfect balance between roundness and acidity, finishing with lovely bitterness.
Vinification and Aging
After manual harvesting, the grapes are pressed slowly. A cold settling is performed before fermentation and aging in oak barrels (Minier cooperage). The wine is aged for 11 months and then bottled in late August of the year following the harvest.
Food and wine pairings
It pairs wonderfully with the finest culinary moments, especially with shellfish, fish, and creamy Bresse poultry. Serve at 14°C.
