Fragrance
Bigarreau cherry mingle with candied citrus and powerful white flowers such as seringat and jasmine. On aeration, notes of calisson, nutmeg and fresh ginger appear, accompanied by sandalwood and peppermint.
Taste
Precise, elegant structure. The wine’s persistent salinity blends with the fleshy, juicy feel of the fruit. The texture, melted and deep, unfolds in surprising length, sustained by a delicate freshness.
Pairing
Land-sea pairings, such as langoustines with morel sauce, or Rossini-style scallops.
Vinification
10 years on lees, 2 years after disgorgement. The dosage is very low, 3g/L, practically insensitive.
