Tasting Note: Fine-tuned white from this prestigious appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise, all apples and almonds, with a faint spritz of lemon and a fresh, green waft of fern on the nose.
Food Matching: Veal in white sauce suits it well, as do paellas and seafood gratins. Shellfish and noble fish fresh from the frying pan or grill are also accepted at an elegant pairing for this wine.

The wine goes directly into barrels after "débourbage" (decanting of white wine to reduce sediment). Ageing in barrels (20% in new oak for a period of 6 to 8 months.
