The 2000 vintage comes from fully mature vines, planted on very steep slopes with a very low yield. It is a very floral wine with a beautiful gilded yellow colour. It develops a delicate nose of floral aromas. The mouth is soft and is marked by a slightly soft character because of the residual sugars. This wine is a very user-friendly aperitif that will accompany foie gras or any exotic cuisine, like dishes with fines herbes. It pairs well with salty and sweet foods, spices such as curry. It also brings out the flavour of certain cheeses such as Blue Cheese or Munster. (12 x 75 cl)
