Tasting
Nose of pear, honey, acacia flower, wet stone, a little touch of grapefruit. With aeration, stone and citrus take over. Full, air and round mouth, stretched by a fine acidity slightly beading that lengthens the wine. Great feeling of pureness. Persistent final, between chewing of chalk, and the bitterness of citrus zest, the whole is very soft, refined. A miracle of balance.
Food pairings
Scallops tartare with citrus zest, roasted monkfish.
