    The wine

    This cuvée has an attractive gold colour and complex and delicious notes of honey, candied lemons, wax and minerals on the nose. These aromas are a fitting introduction to the creamy and generous palate with its white flower notes balanced by citrus flavours. A long and beautifully bitter finish makes this wine ideal for pairing with gourmet dishes and gives it the unique character behind its tremendous reputation.
