Tasting notes
The robe is a light golden yellow with light golden reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid, transparent. The wine has a fine youthful quality. The nose is marked, pleasant, expressive and gives out a dominant of juvenile, primary, fruity, scent, citrus fruit and very refreshing lemon peel. Airing enhances the fruity character, of lemon still, as well as delicate hint of fine vegetal. The frisky and refreshing nose is remarkable. The onset in the mouth is moderatly ample with a well balanced alcoholic base. One evolves on a fresh and edgy medium marked by a sparkling note. The range of flavours is focused on the dominant fruits and pastries. The finish offers a moderate lenght, 4 caudalies, and a sharp vivacity. The wine shows a slender and lengthy character without losing the freshness of the grape variety.
Matching it with food
Suggested as an accompaniment to a bed of raw vegetables or fresh goat's cheeses. Already gifted with a pleasant taste, I would recommend to serve it at temperature of 11°C
