In the glass
Aroma: dried apricot, orange peel, tea leaf
Palate: quince, orange peel, grip
Created in 2018 and vinified like a red: several days on the skins, then a year in barrel. The domaine says the skin contact gives extra structure while keeping the tension of its Savagnin.
What it pairs with
-
Spiced vegetable dishes
Skin contact whites carry spice and vegetable bitterness better than a taut white. -
Charcuterie
The light grip from the skins stands up to cured fat. -
Washed rind cheese
Texture and tannin meet a pungent rind without being flattened.
