Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy

This wine is full and generous and at the same time elegant wine, with distinctive peach and almond nuances as well as fruity aromas both on the nose and on the palate. This great white wine can accompany shellfish cooked in a court-bouillon, creamed and poached fish, poultry, liver pâtés, and cheese such as mature Comté.

Preservation

This wine can easily age 10 to 15 years if it is kept in good conditions of humidity and temperature.
