Cotations
Dégustation
Oeil :
Dense golden yellow with green lights.
Nez :
Firstly, on the nose, the wine presents a great aromatic complexity with citrus aromas, white-fleshed fruit, pear and great floral notes (hawthorn). We also notice some notes of reductions with great vegetal notes (polypod, anise…) giving elegance and freshness.
Bouche :
The palate is generous, ample and enhanced by a great mineral tension. We notice a great aromatic persistency on the finale.
Les conseils du Sommelier : Anne-Sophie Pic suggests to serve a turbot steamed over grated black truffle with asparagus and peppermint with this Saint-Péray “Sélection Parcellaire”.
