Visually, it displays a very pale yellow-green color with silver reflections. The nose is fresh and aromatic, evoking delicate meadow herbs, lime zest, white apple, gooseberry, orange rind, flowers, honeysuckle, and lemon peel. Hints of mint, crisp nectarine, pastry cream, citrus oil, and freshly baked bread add complexity. On the palate, it is fresh, vibrant, and slightly chalky, packed with flavors of candied oranges, white peaches, crunchy green apple, and bright zesty lime. It offers a pungent minerality, a racy backbone, and a long, saline finish, showcasing excellent energy and structure.
🍴 This elegant white Bordeaux is a versatile food companion. It shines with fresh seafood such as oysters, grilled fish, or shrimp scampi. A goat cheese salad, asparagus risotto, or light poultry dishes would also be delightful pairings.
