Tasting Notes
The wine opens with an expressive burst of intense floral aromas, creating an immediate sense of elegance. This is followed by delicate notes of brioche and candied lemon, adding richness and complexity. On the palate, it is straight and well-defined, with a firm, structured texture and a long, persistent finish. Floral and gingerbread notes dominate the aftertaste, while aging introduces additional layers of grilled hazelnut, spice, and subtle toasted nuances, enhancing depth and sophistication.
Food Pairing
Excellent with chicken, lobster, crab, crayfish, scallops, salmon, seafood dishes, and veal. It also pairs beautifully with creamy sauces, mushroom-based recipes, foie gras, and mildly spicy cuisine such as curry, offering versatility across both delicate and rich preparations.
