Winemaking:
The grapes are cut and sorted by hand. The grapes are pressed then placed in demi-muids to be wine. The ageing is done in demi-muids of 2 wines out new barrels. A constant stirring takes place to put the lees in suspension.

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Tasting note:
A golden yellow dress with slightly golden silvery reflections. On the nose, a ripe aromatic palette of yellow and slightly exotic fruits, decorated with almond. Hints of eucalyptus and coriander bring the freshness. The wine is round, silky, with a nice balance, and a slight freshness in support.

Food Pairing:
One-sided pike perch with crispy skin and a crayfish broth to get the aromatic power of this wine, Or with frog legs and parsley, white meats and a goat cheese.
