This trustworthy white wine delivers good value. An aromatic nose of peach with white flower and lactic notes introduces delicious flavours of fresh apricot, lemon curd, vanilla and a beautiful mineral layer completing the picture. Medium bodied with a creamy palate texture, it offers a delicious crisp, tangy and perfectly balanced finish. Delicious with smoked salmon blinis, decorated with red onion, capers and a dollop of crème-fraîche. (Louise Boutin)
