James Suckling – This has such a floral, fragrant and perfumed nose with sliced-pear and melon aromas, as well as very fresh, fleshy flavors on the palate. This has such a pure, gently honeyed, pear and melon-flavored palate. Refined and refreshing. Drink now.
About This Wine
Pale lime to pale straw. Subtle, yes definitive aromas of lime zest and grapefruit pulp with hints of brioche and fresh cashews. The palate has saline acidity that carries the citrus notes from nose to mouth. The savory complexity provides the perfect counter-point for a Chardonnay that truly reflects its maritime origins.
Pair this wine alongside comté cheese, truffle pasta, or smashed pea-pesto on freshly toasted sourdough.
