Tasting
Aroma Mineral-salty with yellow fruits. Notes of citrus and yellow fruits mingled with spicy and hazelnut notes. Floral notes
Palate Firm, juicy, and mineral. Elegant Chardonnay from Burgundy. The wine is round, rich, and supple, fully expressing the fruity side of Pinot Noir. Dominant red fruit notes (strawberry, raspberry, currant). Notes with fresh white fruit flavors
Finish A lot of freshness that gives it a very indulgent aspect. A chalky finish
Food Pairing Shellfish and crustaceans, fish, pasta and rice, cheeses, chicken fillet with morel cream, Bresse poultry with mushrooms, pan-seared scallops or an asparagus risotto, soft Burgundy cheeses like a matured goat cheese, perfect with crab ravioli
