Tasting
Appearance : Deep yellow in colour, with bright gold tinges that emphasize its characteristic intensity.
Nose : The bouquet is elegant and racy, with delicate fruity aromas (lemon, grapefruit, pear, stewed fruits…) and flowers (white flowers). As it evolves, this Riesling Signature is unique thanks to the complexity of the terroir, it develops mineral aromas (gun powder, flint, mint, etc.).
Palate : This dry wine displays great vertical structure. It is characterized by intense freshness that can be appreciated from start to finish, whilst the mid-palate is defined by opulence and richness. The body, both racy and delicately fruity, makes this wine an ideal partner for haute cuisine.

Food pairings
Riesling is an excellent food wine. In addition to pairing naturally with traditional Alsace dishes such as Choucroute and pork-based dishes, it has a natural affinity with fish and shellfish, such as scallops, almost iodene flavours of the sea. It is also delicious with poultry, white meats and even goat’s cheese.
