The Vintage 2015 : After a cold winter and a mild spring, the weather conditions in summer (with important differences of temperature between day and night from August onwards) were ideal and enabled a perfect maturation of the grapes. The harvest started early September under a bright sunshine. The white wines develop aromas of exotic fruit mixed with floral fragrances. Aging in oak casks during 12 months.
Tasting : Pale gold color. Aromas of citrus fruit mixed with spices and a hint of vanilla. Well-crafted and refined. Intense with a good concentration. Delicate oak note. Long and elegant finish. Score : 92 - Burghound - April 2017
Food pairing : To be enjoyed with lobster, seafood, white meat and some cheeses (Reblochon, Cantal, Epoisse and Citeau).
