Color

Nose
The aromatic bouquet reveals intense notes of exotic fruits and white-fleshed fruits, enhanced by an elegant minerality that brings finesse and complexity.

Palate
The balance between roundness and freshness characterizes this wine. Notes of white flowers unfold harmoniously before giving way to a persistent finish marked by subtle citrus touches, notably lemon.

Food and wine pairings

This white wine from Provence pairs perfectly with sea urchins accompanied by wild asparagus for an elegant surf-and-turf combination. It will also happily accompany sushi or calisson ice cream for an original tasting experience.

Serving and aging

Serve between 9 and 12°C. While it is already delightful to enjoy, it can be cellared until around 2028, further developing its aromatic complexity.
