Bright gold colour; it is a mineral and an elegant white wine. It has a delicate nose of fresh fruit aromas. Good balanced wine with freshness, intensity and long finish. Its mouth has a smooth and rich evolution when fatness comes with the necessary acidity for a good preservation.

Nice wine pairing with charcuterie, hot starter, any fish, grilled or with a sauce, goat or blue cheeses. Between 12 and 14°C; aerate the wine in a balloon or tulip-shaped glass with thin sides to bring out the robe and aromas.
