In the glass
Aroma: white orchard fruit, citrus, hazelnut
Palate: orchard fruit, lemon, stone
Off marly soils rich in limestone, which the domaine credits with giving the cuvee both volume and minerality. Fermented and aged in wood for a year without any veil ageing, so this is the estate's straightforwardly fresh Chardonnay.
What it pairs with
-
Grilled white fish
A barrel fermented but topped up Chardonnay has weight without oxidative weight. -
Scallops
The mineral drive the domaine describes suits sweet shellfish. -
Poultry
Twelve months in wood gives enough body for roast chicken.
