The vineyard

The grapes originate from the Montchauvy plot, planted in 2010 with a southeastern exposure. The shallow, pebbly soil lies over a cracked limestone subsoil, which regulates water supply and imparts a distinct mineral tension to the vines.

Ideal combination

Fish

Fish pairs best with white and rosé wines: they don't overpower the taste and suit different cooking methods.

Match

Cheese

Cheeses pair well with wine: hard cheeses with reds, soft and blue cheeses with whites and fortified wines.

Match

Sushi

Sushi and sashimi pair well with light, high-acid white wines — they refresh the palate and let the delicate flavour of the fish come through.

Match

Winemaking

Following a manual harvest and cold settling, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks. The wine then undergoes an extended aging of 18 months on its fine lees before a light filtration and bottling.
