My favorite cuvee from Champalou. Complex tree fruit, hint of spice, wet rock and crisp acidity.

Slightly golden dress. Apricot nose, white peach, honey, dried fruits, hazelnut, butter, vanilla, empyreumatic notes are present. In the mouth it is of great delicacy, between mineral tension, and creaminess. The breeding is melted with the notes of evolution. A great of the great Loire white wines that I was able to drink; gastronomic profile.

Robe légèrement dorée. Nez abricot, pêche blanche, miel, fruits secs, noisette, beurre, vanille, les notes empyreumatiques sont bien présentes. En bouche c’est d’une grande délicatesse, entre tension minérale, et onctuosité. L’élevage est fondu aux notes d’évolution. Un grand vin blanc de Loire au profil gastronomique.
