Tasting:
  White flowers and citrus fruit on the nose, with a toasty, oaky base.
  The palate shows a good balance of fattiness and freshness, making it a sophisticated and elegant wine.

Aging and serving recommendations:
  The suppleness of this wine allows it to be enjoyed young, and as well after
  a few years in the cellar (3 to 7 years).

Pairing:
  This wine will go perfectly with oven-roasted fish, quenelles, cold cuts, or when aged, fowl in a cream sauce.
