Pale golden in colour with delicate straw-yellow reflections. Graceful and refined in the glass, the wine opens with subtle aromas, where hints of dried apricot and linden honey gently suggest its sweet character.

The palate is beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity perfectly offsetting the residual sugar, while the alcohol remains seamlessly integrated. Noble botrytis reveals itself through flavours of dried apricot, complemented by delicate earthy and mushroom notes, enhanced by a touch of subtle oak spice.

Sweet, yet remarkably elegant and never heavy, the wine retains a wonderful sense of freshness. Its medium-long finish leaves a lasting impression, making it an unexpectedly delightful aperitif as well.

Food Pairing

An excellent match for:

• mature semi-hard cheeses, as well as a creamy Mont d’Or or goat’s milk Camembert;
• light sponge cake with apricots, served with a rich vanilla custard;
• classic tiramisu or a refreshing limoncello version;
• rustic pâté de campagne, especially when enriched with a touch of foie gras.
