| Wine tasting : |
Color : Pale golden colour with golden highlights and a good grip in the glass
Nose : Greedy and rich with fruity notes of orchard fruit such as peaches and also sweet spices such as vanilla complemented by a pleasant bouquet of white flowers
Palate : Full-bodied, opulent and enveloping on the palate, it echoes the fruity notes perceived in the nose with the flavours of peaches and of Golden apple. We also find some notes of vanilla and grilled almonds. A hint of refreshing bitterness brings brightness at the end of the mouth
Pairing : The generosity of this wine will be ideal to accompany generous and melting cuisines like : Avocado verrine with espelette pepper served with sliced smoked salmon seasoned with lemon and dill ; A fricassee of monkfish in cream sauce with crisp seasonal vegetables ; A creamy chaource cheese with Burgundy black truffle served on a slice of toasted dried fruit bread |
