Tasting
It is a racy and seductive wine, "dressed" in a beautiful golden color tinged with green. It offers a nuanced bouquet of hazelnuts and ferns, a very dry taste with mineral notes and a very good length. The terroir often gives it spicy flavors. Age makes it a bit more golden and spicier. On the palate, its aromas keep their freshness for a long time.
Food and wine pairing
This wine goes perfectly with veal in sauce, scallops in butter and herbs, and most fish.Also to drink with hard mountain cheeses: Comté, Beaufort, etc ...
