A wine of superior quality and refined acidity, it serves as a perfect partner to seafood, and is a delightful, mature addition to any wine connoisseur's collection.

Tasting Notes

It is always a very open wine. Its sunny exposure gives it lovely maturity. The minerality often being more discreet, this gives way to yellow fruit aromas (apricot, quince). Its clayey soil brings a lot of depth and length. The palate is always more rounded than linear, with notes of ripe fruit. Over time, the wine regains freshness but still keeps a very open and gourmand style
