Tasting
| Aroma | A bouquet of white wine suggests citrus, fresh butter, fern, dried fruits, spices, and honey. |
| Palate | The body and bouquet are indistinguishable, as structure and harmony merge into a perfect unity. Creamy and firm, dry and caressing, enveloping and deep, it possesses all the graces under an inflexible character. |
| Finish | Creamy and firm, dry and caressing, enveloping and deep, it possesses all the graces under an inflexible character. |
| Food Pairing | Bresse chicken with cream, veal sweetbreads with morels, truffled foie gras, Comté or aged Cantal. Large fish and shellfish (monkfish, crayfish, char, langoustine, lobster), but also with pan-seared veal. |
