A pale, golden colour. Tropical fruit aromas (lychee, pineapple) with hints of crème pâtissière and brioche. Fresh but complex on the palate, combining minerality and caramelised pineapple. Great as an aperitif, white meats and noble fish.
This wine has aromas of intense grapefruit and nectarines with hints of citrus blossom and subtle oak nuances. The palate displays a concentration of citrus and stone fruit with a touch of creaminess and a nutty texture due to partial malolactic fermentation and bâtonnage. The wine is effortlessly mouth filling with a delicate balance of fruit and acidity and a long lingering finish, lasting well after drinking. A wine of both power and finesse, it is well suited to rich poultry or creamy shellfish dishes with sautéed vegetables. This wine will develop further complexity in bottle over the next five years.
This wine comes from the finest terroirs of gravel, clay and clay-limestone soils situated on Dordogne Valley hillsides with full southern exposure.
