Vinification: hand picking keeps the bunches whole for vinification. Direct pressing after maceration on the skins for 6 hours.

Maturing; in oak barrels

Nose: discrete with peach and apricot aromas and scents of undergrowth and dried fruit

Palate: full, supple and rounded, giving this wine a true pedigree

Serving suggestions: just as enjoyable as an aperitif as with a starter like lentil salad, salmon tartare or with a chicken curry, duck breast, veal cutlet, veal blanquette and mushroom risotto, and even mountain cheeses like tome, Reblochon or Vacherin
