Mouth : All in delicacy and finesse, it is straight and tightened, underlined by a beautiful material. Subtle pairing of fruit mixed with a slender and living structure
Good with : In its youth, this wine will enhance the soft textures of a Sea bream tartare with a passion fruit dressing or with a fresh goat cheese served on a salad. In its development, it will be perfect with a roasted poultry with foie gras served with a few ravioles. A well aged Salers cheese will reveal it too |
