Description
A wine we cherish, from a rare terroir
Terroir : Saint-Péray terraces of limestone and granite.
Vinification : The wine is vinified in oak barrels with slow fermentation, then aged on lees and stirred for the first few months. It is aged in barrels for 12 to 16 months, depending on the vintage (15% new and the rest in 1 to 5 year old barrels).

Tasting
Color : Golden yellow colour with green nuances.
Nose : Intense and flattering, with floral aromas of hawthorn and iris, as well as notes of quince and citrus.
Palate : The mouth is full, well-balanced between mineral and fruit elements, with beautiful persistence.
Service : chilled to 14°C-15°C/57⁰F-59⁰F. Delightful with escargot de Bourgogne (snails) or roasted Bresse chicken.
