Tasting notes

This French dessert wine is from the beautiful Dordogne Valley. The nose opens with flavors of apricot, quince, candied orange zest. Suave and creamy on the palate, with yellow fruit and slightly floral characters. Nice balance, length with a nice aromatic persistence. Produced predominantly from Semillon grapes which are left in the vines to develop 'Botrytis'. Made only in exceptional years.

Food pairing

To be enjoyed as an aperitif or during a meal with Foie gras, Chicken, Capon, Veal, and scallops. Best with Roquefort, Fourme d’Ambert, Bleu d’Auvergne cheese. For dessert, pair with a tart or tiramisu. Serve at a temperature of 8 to 12 degrees Celcius.

Harvest

The harvest is done entirely by hand and by successive sorting.
