A Sensory Experience

The color is luminous, straw yellow with delicate bright and brilliant reflections.

The nose has a double profile, rich and complementary. The first sweet impression delivers aromas of ripe white and yellow fruits (apricots, peaches, etc.) followed by a floral hint of white flowers characteristic of Chenin (lime, vetiver with a hint of honeysuckle). Aging and fermentation in 400l oak barrels provide delicate aromas of sweet vanilla.

The attack on the palate is round and fine at the same time thanks to a slight acidity which energizes the finish and will allow very delicate pairings with food.

Wine and Food Matching

Its aromatic qualities and its perfect balance allow it to make numerous food and wine combinations; the marriage will be perfect with:

Grilled Fish with a creamy reduction sauce
White meats (Veal, poultry, rabbit) with creamy sauce, lamb sweatbread (“ris de veau”), truffled white sausages (“Boudin blanc truffé”)
fried scallops with its creamy reduction sauce of Coteaux du Layon
Hard chees (Comté, etc.)
