Tasting
Eye: A very luminous visual presence with soft, sustained, shimmering salmon hues. A highly seductive combination of sparkling brilliance and graceful effervescence symbolising the quest for complete maturity.
Nose: A refreshing, sensual expression of red and black berries. The exquisite sensation of a rich and complex aromatic amplitude (blueberry, gooseberry, peony). Lovely, refined and mature olfactory notes, respectfully declining the inimitable fragrances of fragrant roses and crystallised violets.
Palate: A tactile impact of measured power and bewitching finesse. A harmonious blossoming of gourmet and pastry flavours (panettone, cherry clafouti). A delicate structure on the palate, progressing to a chalky finish of cedar wood and blood orange jelly.
Wine and food pairing: An aromatic charm with a rare mineral dimension to accompany fine Bresse poultry with crayfish or some royal Breton langoustines.
Serving temperature: 11/12°.
