Tasting Note
Pale gold; aromas of white peach, pear, honeycomb, toasted almond and flint. Rich, textured and full-bodied with silken mouthfeel, bright acidity and chalky minerality leading to a long, elegant finish.

Western: lobster, seared scallops, roast chicken with truffle cream, saffron risotto, aged Comté. Asian: miso-glazed black cod, yakitori chicken, Thai green curry (milder), Vietnamese seafood hotpot.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Roussanne from loess soils; fermented and aged in oak (demi-muids/older barrels) with some élevage in wood and concrete; low-intervention techniques noted by the domaine.
