The Chardonnay is pale gold in the glass. The nose is reminiscent of fresh almonds, the palate surprises with fullness and beautiful balance - particularly remarkable for a rather cool vintage. The finish is clear, with lively acidity and mineral freshness.

Perfect with seafood, fish, white meat and regional cheeses such as Soumaintrain. A vegan accompaniment would be vegetable quiche, plaited bread with quinoa and pesto or beet carpaccio.
