    Notes and pairings

    Notes and pairings

    Tasting notes

    Serve at 17-18°C. To pair with this wine, we recommend roasted quail, stuffed quail, or, for a more original touch, caramelized quail. Regardless of the recipe, this dish, accompanied by potatoes cooked in the quail's own juices, will delight even the most discerning palates.

    Vinification and aging

    Sustainable and plot-by-plot cultivation. Leaf thinning and cluster removal. Hand-harvested in small crates with initial sorting in the vineyard. Destemming entirely done by hand. Pre-fermentation maceration at low temperature. Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels.
