Product notes
Wine made from illustrious plots of the Hermitage appellation: Beaumes, Murets, Dionières and Pierrelles, with calcareous granite, clay-loam and sandy-gravelly soils.
Production notes
Manual harvest and sorting of the grapes. During vinification, control of alcoholic fermentation and temperatures between 16 and 18 ° C. The wine benefits from a 24-month aging in wood (second wine cask).
Tasting notes
Sustained straw yellow color. Very complex nose dominated by flowers and plants, often also characterized by acacia honey. Elegant woody notes. Spicy wine with a very strong structure for a white wine. This wine is made to stand the test of time. Harmony between an almost inexhaustible aromatic richness and a rigor very characteristic of these rare white wines. Very good pairing with lobster, goes well with spicy and garlic-based dishes, also with blue cheese. Serve between 10 and 12 ° C.
