« Exubérance et cocktail de fruits »

Its colour is a surprise, golden, almost amber, like that of a wine twenty years its senior. The long, slow fermentation of this dessert wine gives it a full nose where honey, beeswax, candied fruit and fresher notes of white blossom all intertwine. The palate is generous, silky and round, yet retains an acidity that lends it lightness, the hallmark of a fine balance between richness, sweetness and finesse. The ageing potential is immense: our dessert wines can be enjoyed young, for the freshness and crunch of the fruit, or much older — 15 to 20 years on, when more complex, concentrated aromas of maturity emerge. Served at 7–8°C, it can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with foie gras, white meat dishes such as a chicken blanquette, or even a lamb tagine. It also pairs wonderfully with blue cheeses (Roquefort), red fruit desserts, or sweet-and-savoury dishes such as pork with pineapple or duck à l'orange.
