Sommelier's Tasting Profile

• Colour: Brilliant pale lemon with golden flashes, gaining depth with bottle age.
• Aroma: Highly complex, opening with notes of citrus peel, white peach, and hawthorn, leading to a deeper register of toasted nuts, honey, and a refined buttery character derived from its 16-month oak ageing.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced. The texture is rich and ample, underpinned by a vibrant tension and a signature saline minerality. The exemplary length on the finish confirms its status as a Grand Cru, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and concentration.

Serving Suggestions & Pairing

A noble wine for noble cuisine. Decant briefly and serve cool (12-14°C) in large Burgundy glasses.

• Culinary Matches: Grilled Turbot with Samphire and Brown Butter, Lobster Bisque, Chicken with Morels (Poulet aux Morilles), Aged Comté or Beaufort Cheese.
• Optimum Drinking Window: 5-15 years from vintage.
