Tasting Profile
| Look: | Pale straw yellow with glinting edges of the same color. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Extraordinarily fresh and classic Loire Valley, with bright aromas of honeydew melon, pomello, sweet orange, subtle freshly crushed lemon thyme. |
| Taste: | Ultra soft on entry, this wine glides across the palate, delivering flavors of grapefruit, subtle lemon peel, slate and lemon flower along the way. |
| Finish: | Flavors really increase after the wine is swallowed. They persist for a long time before slowly tailing off. |
| Pairing: | Enjoy this refreshing wine with steamed mussels with fresh garlic. For a real treat, take this lovely wine along with you on a picnic, and enjoy with double or triple cream cheeses. |
What the Winery Says
Bright yellow in color with green highlights. The bouquet is fresh fruit, slightly grapefruit. On the palate, typical and very clear, good flavor structure. Sustainable.
