Description
These wines made from overripe grapes are picked well after the classic vintage and in the greatest years only. The action of noble rot (botrytis cinerea) gives them an almost unlimited ability to age. They are part of the elite of the greatest wines in France.
This wine has a sparkling, crystalline, youthful and concentrated colour with pale green, pale lemon yellow and spring foliage coloured highlights. The legs are dense, sophisticated and voluptuously smooth.
It has the classic bouquet of a well-ripened Gewürztraminer but is not too mature; it is open, expressive, aromatic and fruity.
Hints of rose, jasmine, Reseda, acacia blossom, mango, citron, orange, lychee, passion fruit, freesia, honey and sweet spices.
On the palate it has that same sensation of harmony, with a fine and delicate sweetness which coats the interior of the mouth with tender softness that will overwhelm you.
Serve with foie gras, strong cheese, Roquefort, Stilton desserts: fruit pie with figs, pineapple, cakes, apples, pears, mango soufflé.
At the end of the meal, or as an aperitif just for the pleasure
