TERROIR
Clay-limestone, limestone. Continental and harsh climate with a dry and hot July.

VINIFICATION
Strict sorting of the harvest upon arrival at the winery. Pressing is carried out using pneumatic presses (very low pressure) to avoid any risk of quality reduction. Static settling is performed for 24 to 48 hours. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Finally, the wine is aged on fine lees for 10 to 12 months.

ENJOYMENT
APPEARANCE: Pale gold.
NOSE: Notes of citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit) against a mineral background (flint).
10-12 months of aging in barrels provides notes of toasted bread, which can be enjoyed on the nose and palate. On the nose, there is great aromatic richness driven by citrus fruits, yet with a mineral texture. The palate is open and fresh, emphasizing its lemony character and grapefruit notes, while remaining balanced with a lovely, persistent finish. A Petit Chablis of irresistible complexity and freshness! It will certainly find its place at any kind of aperitif or as an accompaniment to seafood platters!.
FOOD PAIRING: Seafood, grilled fish or fish tartare, snails, or cheese.
SERVING TEMPERATURE: 10 - 12°C
