A bright, sparkling radiant yellow gold. Lively and effervescent. The initial nose exhales rich, complex notes. There is an atmosphere of a delicate notes almond, frangipane, dried herbs, butter-pastries, molten honey, then drifting onto discreet notes of boxwood and incense with a subtle fi nal note of menthol. The palate is lovely and fresh, dominated by the majestic mark of the predominant Chardonnay. The wine’s consistency and richness is a signature of its wonderful maturity, the sweetness is perfectly balanced ~ emphasised by a judicious and necessary ‘under-dosage’.
Savour it without hesitation with a plump poulard with succulent meat accompanied by crisp, small, young vegetables (carrots, swede, artichoke hearts and petits pois).
