The palate is creamy and rounded, yet beautifully balanced by lively acidity and a distinct mineral character. Its well-integrated structure leads to a long, refreshing finish. Enjoy it in its youth for maximum freshness, although its texture and complexity should allow it to develop further over the short term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from historic, low-yielding vineyards on north-east-facing slopes at approximately 250–300 metres above sea level. The calcareous clay and gravel soils, together with the influence of the nearby lake and the contrast between warm days and cool, breezy nights, encourage expressive aromas and mineral definition. Hand-picked grapes are gently whole-bunch pressed before undergoing a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in a combination of stainless-steel tanks, large wooden casks and tonneaux. The wine then matures on its fine lees for five months, building texture and aromatic complexity, before careful filtration and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA versatile choice for delicate fish and seafood starters, shellfish, fish-based main courses and creamy mushroom risotto.
