Tasting Notes

Pale yellow robe with subtle golden highlights.

On the palate, the attack is smooth and fresh, with a texture that is already well-rounded and perfectly balanced. The aromatic profile unfolds with intensity in a ripe and elegant register. The finish is clean and persistent, confirming the accessibility and generosity of this cuvée. An expressive, well-crafted wine, ready to enjoy now, ideal for immediate drinking and perfectly suited for the table.

Food Pairings

Ideal for the entire meal, this off-dry, well-balanced wine charms from the aperitif. Its freshness and moderate sweetness make it a natural match for starters such as fine charcuterie, marinated raw fish, ceviche, or sea bream tartare.

At the table, its versatility stands out: rabbit terrine, white meats, fleischnakas (Alsatian meat roulade), sautéed mushrooms, offal, or game birds. It also pairs beautifully with a cheese board, especially aged Comté, firm goat cheese, or young Munster. A focused, expressive wine that enhances the finesse of each dish without ever overpowering it.
