Tasting note
A mouthful of cream and barley sugar and a noseful of orange blossom abound in this gently sweet wine from France's south-west.
Viticulture
Exclusively produced in the most favourable years from specially selected, old, South- or East-facing Semillon vines. The age of the vines, late harvest, leaf plucking, drying on the vine and short-pruning, lead to a particularly low yield (30 hL/ha).
Vinification
Upon arrival in the cellar, the grapes are gravity-fed into the gentle, pneumatic press. The different fractions are divided up and vinified separately. After cold settling, these batches are cold fermented (16°C) in stainless steel. Fermentation is arrested when the wine reaches a residual sugar level of around 50g/l.
Food Match
In the same mould, but not as heavy as a Sauternes or Monbazillac so ideal with lighter, fruit-based desserts or foie gras.
