Fine, malted aromas with orchard fruits and zesty mandarin seamlessly leading to a palate of stone and citrus fruits and slight resinous hints of spruce and juniper berries.
"For me, the ideal pairing with the Cuvée Nicolas François 2002 is a signature dish which is served on the restaurant menu: L’Opulante Pintade de Chalosse sur les Braises (an opulent braised Chalosse Guinea Fowl), accompanied by a lamb rice stuffing, morels, quenelles and truffles. A perfect pairing and a delicate moment to share with knowledgeable people who understand how to appreciate the finer things, with sensitive people who are open to beauty as the beauty is also in the taste!" - Chef at the Restaurant Les Prés d’Eugénie, Eugénie-les-Bains
