This luscious white is fermented and aged in small oak barrel, 10% of which are new. So you get the structure and spiciness of the oak, but not in an overwhelming fashion, since most is used and fairly neutral. Apricot and floral notes lead into a creamy mouthful of apple, pear and peach flavors, all underscored by the aforementioned spice notes, along with vibrant acidity. Wonderfully balanced, its clean, open attack and its citrusy notes call for dishes which can somewhat mitigate its ardor. An oily fish, poached or simply fried, will play this role, especially as the wine’s range of floral aromas respond splendidly to the fine salty flesh. Variations featuring seafood will also do well, as will risottos containing seafood or mushrooms whose mellow texture will blend harmoniously with the acidity of the wine. It is also well-suited to goat cheeses, Bleu de Bresse, Comté, Beaufort, and Gruyère.
