Expert Tasting Notes

• Colour: Bright, pale yellow with attractive silver-green highlights.
• Aroma: The nose is pure, intense, and layered. You'll find core notes of ripe stone fruit (white peach) and zesty citrus (grapefruit), beautifully integrated with savoury, herbal hints and the luxurious complexity of new oak-think light toast, vanilla pod, and cream.
• Taste: Rich and full-bodied on the palate, with a wonderful, unctuous texture. The wine’s vibrant, racy acidity provides a brilliant cut through the richness, leading to a long, persistent, and satisfyingly mineral finish. It’s a wine of great finesse and structure.

Serving and Culinary Matches

To best appreciate its complexity, serve lightly chilled at 11°C-13°C. It’s a sophisticated partner for premium fish and seafood dishes.

• **Recommended Pairings :** Grilled Turbot or Sea Bass, Classic Seafood Platter (Oysters, Prawns), Scallops with Cauliflower Purée, Fine Poultry dishes, Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce.

A wine that effortlessly marries the concentration of Graves fruit with the sophistication of Bordeaux winemaking.
