The pebbles and clay in the soil mean that these vines have deep roots. The temperate area in which the vines are located are influenced by a proximity to the ocean, and this encourages a slower maturation for the grapes. Harvested in early November, botrytis cinerea is allowed to develop on the grapes, increasing the amount of residual sugar in the eventual wine. Matured on lees in casks for 24 months, this sweet, white wine expresses a nose of pineapple, apple compote and candied lemon. The palate is unctuous and concentrated with a certain density. Its fresh finish compensates for the 135g of residual sugar.

Vin de France La Margelle Château de Fosse-Sèche serve at a temperature of 11°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Foie gras poêlé déglacé au vinaigre, Canard pékinois, Sushis.
