Tasting notes
- Type : Dry
- Grape variety : Chenin blanc
- Color : Pale golden color, with either grey or straw hues depending on the vintage. Bright and shiny.
- Nose : Depending on the vintage we find spicy notes, with safran and vanilla, notes of cinnamon and nutmeg or marzipan (almond paste). Aromatic ensemble of white and yellow fruit evolving with ageing on notes of Tonka bean and turpentine, or truffle (for the 2008 vintage for example).
- Palate : Rich, full-bodied, structured by a surprising freshness, and a charming finish, that gives this wine a charming and creamy balance.
Food pairing
This wine will pair nicely on fishes and seafood, like lobster and scallops, but also on white meats with creamy sauces, with a pinch of acidity or spice. Ideal on a cheese platter.
