Tasting Notes
opens with intense aromas of ripe apricot, pineapple, mango, orange marmalade, acacia honey, saffron, and candied citrus peel, layered with hints of vanilla, toasted almond, and crème brûlée. On the palate, it is rich, concentrated, and luxuriously textured, yet beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity that lifts the sweetness. The finish is exceptionally long, revealing lingering notes of honeyed stone fruits, exotic spices, caramelized citrus, and subtle botrytis complexity.
Pairings
A luxurious match for foie gras, blue cheeses (especially Roquefort), seared scallops, lobster with butter sauce, and roast poultry with fruit glaze. For dessert, it pairs beautifully with crème brûlée, tarte tatin, apricot tart, and other fruit-based pastries. For a classic French pairing, enjoy it with foie gras, where the wine's richness and vibrant acidity create remarkable harmony.
Decant
