Production
Beginning with the 1997 vintage, we also separately fermented and bottled a number of small batches from specific areas, called lieux-dits (named places) which have their own historical identity. After bottling, all our wines are left to mature for a few months or a few years in our underground cellars.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of honey and honeysuckle can be found on the nose, on the palate it is light, dry and crisp, with well balanced acidity and a long lingering finish of quince, melon and honeydew. Best drunk young.
Food Pairing
Duck breasts with orange, honey and tea sauce, chicken liver pate with figs and walnuts or grilled lobster with creamy chilli vinaigrette.
