Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with expressive aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and delicate almond, all layered over a core of pronounced minerality and subtle flint. The palate is structured and lively, showcasing bright citrus, a creamy mouthfeel, and a lingering finish accented by a touch of salinity. Its complexity and freshness make it a superb partner for dishes such as pan-seared scallops with beurre blanc, roasted chicken with tarragon, or a wedge of aged Comté cheese; it also pairs beautifully with Cantonese steamed fish, offering a harmonious East-meets-West pairing.
