Description
This wine is made from two parcels of old vines over 50 years old, “Chemin de Plivot” and “Chemin de Flavigny” in Avize. Chardonnay on poor chalk outcrop soil gives it its unique mineral character and floral aromas. The fermentation in barrels, the low dosage and the prolonged aging of 5 years in the cellar give it structure and a unique taste.

| Tasting | The nose is very aromatic with superb aromas of white flowers, lime blossom combined with a great minerality with notes of salt, limestone, chalk and citrus. It evolves slowly towards more gourmet flavours of bergamot, candied fruit and pastry. On the palate, the wine is initially tense with iodine and acidic notes. Then fullness and smoothness take over the palate with exotic, apricot and fruit tart flavours. The finish is extremely long with a very subtle oxidation on grilled, smoked and spicy notes. This racy cuvée is best enjoyed with roast lobster or lamb with lime and rosemary. |
