Despite these challenges, the vines thrived, producing grapes of exceptional quality and generous yields.

Grape Variety & Terroir

• Freshwater fish in white sauce: The wine’s freshness balances the richness of dishes like trout meunière or pike with beurre blanc.
• Omelettes and scrambled eggs: The buttery notes of the wine complement these simple yet flavourful dishes.
• Cheese: Particularly delicious with goat cheese, Gruyère, Comté, or Cîteaux.

Serving & Aging Potential

• Serving temperature: 11 to 12°C (52-54°F).
• Cellaring potential: 3 to 8 years, allowing the wine to develop further complexity and depth over time.
