TASTING NOTE

2018

The radiant golden hue prepares the senses for the generosity of the nose. The aromas are pure and ripe — a concentrated expression of juicy yellow stone fruits such as peach, quince, apricot, and mirabelle plum, lifted by indulgent notes of frangipane and roasted hazelnut. The palate is vibrant and full-bodied, led by ripe citrus, unfolding into comforting exotic and spicy nuances of vanilla, passion fruit, and toasted almonds. The finish is zesty, persistent, and beautifully lingering.

Food Match

Enjoy alongside foods that complement the wine's richness and fine acidity such as lobster in truffle butter, seared scallops, or aged Comté.
