Description Sweet white

A clear golden colour, an expressive bouquet, discreet – honey and ginger bread - on the palate, dominated by the roundness - ample and supple.



To consume with « foie gras » or as a dessert wine.
One of the ways I prefer my wine isas an appetizer, really fresh, at night before the diner.
