Terroir: clay-rich, calcareous soils of glacial origin, characterized by compact clay with excellent water retention. Situated at an altitude of approximately 60 to 80 m asl, the vineyards enjoy a favourable South-South-East aspect. The planting density is around 4,500 vines per ha, with yields averaging about 90 q/ha.
Vinification: Gentle, soft crushing of whole bunches for most of our production, while the rest is lightly de-stemmed by oscillation. Then follows a strict winemaking process: racking off the lees by natural settling, slow fermentation at a controlled temperature (14°-18°C).
Ageing: 5 months on fine lees.
Tasting notes: Bright straw yellow colour. The elegant, mineral nose is marked by pleasant exotic notes, hints of candied fruit and citrus. The palate features remarkable expressive elegance, assertive density typical of the variety, proving warm and lingering
Temperature of service: Served at 8-10°C
Food Pairing: Excellent with lake fish, shellfish, risottos, white meats, and soft cheeses. Also ideal as an aperitif.
