Tasting notes
Colour: clear straw yellow tending to gold. Nose: fruity scents of grapefruit peel, pineapple and dried apricot, then secondary notes of melted butter, honey, hazelnut and minerality. Palate: savoury, warm, full but lean, with a slight, pleasant tannic vein and a savoury-bitter finish.
Pairs well with
Sauced fish dishes, white meats or cheeses; excellent as an aperitif.
