Tasting notes
Its robe displays a straw colour with some pale gold reflections. On the nose, its aromatic complexity reveals aromas of slightly honeyed white flowers. It is well balanced on the palate: the freshness of Chardonnay is balanced by a slightly mellow note.
Food pairing
A perfect pairing with traditional snails, but it sits just as effortlessly with vegetables from the wok, or a fish in sauce. With cheese, it goes well with Gruyère or Comté, and proves to be a cheeky accompaniment to fresh goat’s cheese!
Serve at 10 to 13°C
