Tasting Notes: The Essence of Chardonnay & Terroir

• Colour: A beautiful, bright gold.
• Aromas: Reserved in youth, the nose gradually reveals layers of lemon peel, green apple, and passionfruit, interwoven with subtle spice, hawthorn, and the distinctive 'pierre à fusil' (gunflint) minerality typical of the terroir.
• Palate: Serious and concentrated, the palate boasts abundant extract and a dense structure. The acidity is lively, providing tension and freshness that carries the complex flavors through an exceptionally long finish. A magnificent wine that is both powerful and elegant.
• Longevity: This is a serious investment wine, capable of improving for 10-30 years in the cellar.

Food Pairing & Service

Decant this wine for 30 minutes and serve at 12-14°C to unlock its full potential. Pair with luxurious, creamy dishes.

• Pairings: Roast Turbot with Hollandaise, Seared Foie Gras, Lobster Thermidor, Creamed Chicken with Morels.
