The current producer page additionally describes Macintosh apple, caramel, toasted pastry, a fine persistent mousse, chalky texture, ripe orchard fruit and a long crisp finish.
Food Pairing Seared duck breast; grilled salmon or tuna; herb-roasted chicken; mushroom risotto; lobster or scallops with butter sauce; and triple-cream cheeses such as Brie, Camembert or Saint-André.
