Tasting Notes
This vintage has a deep golden color. The expressive nose reveals complex aromas of honey, candied apricot, white flowers, blood orange, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and creamy, with well-balanced freshness to offset the sweetness. Flavors of candied fruit, mandarin, and honey lead to a long, elegant, and harmonious finish.
Aging Potential
Now at its peak, this wine can age gracefully until 2034.
Food Pairings
Excellent with foie gras, blue cheeses (like Roquefort), exotic fruit-based desserts, or traditional French cakes like gâteau nantais.
