Tasting Note

A symphony of aromas and flavours that are the epitome of a fine Burgundy Chardonnay. The wine opens with a bouquet of white flowers, citrus fruits, and a hint of buttery oak. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with notes of ripe stone fruits, honeyed citrus, and a touch of hazelnut. Beautifully balanced with a lively acidity that cuts through the richness, leaving a long and lingering finish.

Food Matching

Excellent with fish or chicken in a cream sauce, washed rind or Roquefort cheeses.
