Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, vibrant citrus and stone fruit notes are layered with a refined minerality, reflecting the limestone-rich soils of the 'Les Reuchaux' climat. The wine’s texture is both silky and lively, leading to a persistent, saline-tinged finish that highlights the site’s distinctive terroir.
