Visual aspect: brilliant, limpid hue, amber tinges. Nose: fruity, with scents of mirabelle plum eau-de-vie, yellow-fleshed fruit compote. Palate: pure first taste, ample mid-palate, well-balanced and quaffing palate, floral aromas, yellow-fleshed fruits. Complex aftertaste, freshness. Match with food: Thai cuisine; coq au vin; pan-fried foie gras with mirabelle plums. Comments: a powerful wine with body and complexity. Certainly atypical but masterly crafted.
