      Tasting notes :

      A vivid light golden yellow wine with an elegant, harmonious nose with ripe apple, lemon zest, and subtle creamy overtones. The palate is concentrated but refined and very focused, with Meyer lemon and juicy apple notes. It is a sleek wine with a touch of creamy walnut complexity. Pure and long in the mouth, superfine silky acidity completes the lingering mineral finish. Delicious with dishes full of flavor, including those with a relatively strong taste based on mushrooms, mussels, and truffles (pasta, rice, gnocchi or polenta), rich seafood and even non-fatty meat (duck, lamb meat, chicken), with various herbs or cream.
