In the glass
Aroma: lemon, honey, tangerine, mineral
Palate: sweet lemon, citrus
A demi-sec Chardonnay sparkler in light gold with a silver cast. Pure lemon, mineral, honey and tangerine on the nose, then a lively sweet-lemon attack offset by crisp acidity and a very clean structure.
What it pairs with
-
Strawberries and cream
The producer names this as a benchmark match; the dosage meets the fruit sugar head on. -
Thai green curry
Residual sugar tames chilli heat while the acidity keeps the palate fresh. -
Foie gras terrine
Honey and tangerine work with the richness the way a sweeter wine traditionally does.
