Tasting profile
A smoky, rich Chardonnay whose vanilla and hazelnut notes accent creamy apple-pastry, lemon-meringue and graham-cracker flavours. Juicy acidity keeps the generous style bright and fresh.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 12 °C. Pair with grilled veal chops and mushrooms, seared foie gras, roast chicken, poulet de Bresse or guinea fowl. Its richness also suits grilled, seared or roasted lobster and scallops, as well as halibut, sea bass with fennel purée, monkfish, swordfish, salmon and tuna. The nutty character complements smoked salmon. Cheese options include Cheddar, Gruyère, Provolone, Camembert, Fontina d’Aosta and Shropshire Blue.
