Food Matching Note:
This particularly fine white will accompany many full flavoured fish dishes (including those of Japanese and Thai origin), poultry and white meat with rich sauces or mild, soft cheese.
Tasting Note:
Upfront vanilla, creamy butter, nougat, macadamia and toasted almonds are intertwined with opulent tropical fruits and spices on the nose. The palate is packed with racy minerals, peaches, apples and tropical fruits, nutty, fresh baked bread and buttery oak influenced structure. Balancing, rounded acidity draws out the finish into a persistant length that makes for an addictive combination.
Vinification Note:
Grapes are hand harvested exclusively from the Corton Grand Cru Vineyard. Gently pneumaticaly pressed and left to cold settle before fermentation at a cool temperature in steel tanks. Ageing is in French barriques, a mixture of old and new, and bottling is with only a light fining.
