Winemaking notes
Following a hand-picked harvest of two separate pickings, the wine is vinified in 2 to 4
years old 400 litre casks for 20 days and then aged on the lees for 4 to 6 months with
weekly stirring of the lees in barrels.
Viticultural notes
In the heart of the Layon, with a magnificent south-south west exposure. 100% Chenin Blanc
Tasting notes
A yellow colour with brilliant hints. The perception of the intensity is powerful striking and
fresh. The bouquet is dominated by Fleurs Blanches. There is a fine gustatory balance
around a smooth and silky attack. There is no perception at all of acidity.
The aromatic complexity is expressed by exotic fruits. There is a long after-taste.
Pairing notes
Traditionally accompanies white meat, fish and shellfish. Try it with lightly spiced
dishes (saffron or curry), oriental dishes or with a wok.
