An exceptional wine combining the lively freshness of Riesling with the sweetness of overripe grapes. Its aromas of candied fruit, honey and citrus are balanced with a beautiful tension, the sign of a great wine for ageing.
A nectar to be savoured with foie gras or a yellow fruit tart.

Tasting
A wine with a yellow colour and golden highlights, clear and bright.
The nose offers a veritable palette of aromas, characteristic of this exceptional wine. The bouquet is powerful and complex. It is an explosion of exotic fruits (pineapple), citrus fruits and spices (gingerbread). Frequent aromas of honey and ripe fruit contribute to giving the nose an impression of incomparable richness. On the palate, it is an elegant wine with great fullness and a beautiful acidic tension that supports this richness.
