Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
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.
This particularly exceptional vintage will bring out the flavours in milk-fed veal chop with chanterelle mushrooms, or an excellent sole in lemon butter.
