Tasting

Tasting note

A wine that develops a complex and full-bodied aromatic range with notes of toasted bread and honey. This is coupled with a beautiful delicacy due to its location on the hillside. This racy wine is pure and straight, and carries a good ageing potential.

Food pairings

Ideal with fatted chicken in cream sauce and Epoisse cheese.
