WINEMAKING NOTES:
The grapes for this wine are hand harvested, and then re-sorted at the winery. The wines are vinified in stainless steel, then aged for 12 months in 1 to 3 year old French oak barrels. Finally, the wine undergoes a very light Kieselguhr filtration before bottling.
TASTING NOTES:
This wine comes from two small vineyards, “La Tournée” and “Les Grandes Carelles”. It is a soft, supple Bourgogne Blanc, with beautiful minerality. The nose is very expressive with hints of honeysuckle and marzipan. In the mouth, rich peach and tropical fruit flavors are lifted by hints of citrus and mineral notes in the finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
While the wine is an ideal match for many fish and shellfish dishes, it is also great as an aperitif served with cheeses like Beaufort, Comte, or Gruyere.
