Production Details Producer sheet: grapes are sorted at harvest reception, handled by gravity, and the must is cold-settled without enzymes. Exact-2025 trade listing: the wine is aged on fine lees in stainless-steel vats, with no oak influence. That listing gives inconsistent serving guidance of 10–11°C in its advice and 10–12°C in its specifications, while the producer specifies 10°C.
Tasting Notes Producer: masculine, complex and rich. Trade-vendor 2025 description: pale yellow with green reflections; flint, fresh citrus/lime and exotic-fruit notes; lively, sharp palate and a tense finish.
Food Pairing Shellfish, fish and white meats; the exact-2025 trade listing additionally suggests seafood, oysters, smoked trout and Crottin de Chavignol or other goat cheese.
