Golden blond color, fresh and exuberant mouth-watering scents of hazelnut and peach fragrances. Intense and velvety taste with a dominance of apple followed by a hint of enticing butterscotch and vanilla. Full bodied, finely inlaid balance of acidity and sugar and a very nice length. The must obtained from frozen fruit pressed in January is frozen again. That intensifies sugar concentration before low temperature fermentation begins, which process preserves and seals every flavor and aroma. Excellent from beginning to end, lovely with a foie gras mousse, excellent to enhance blue cheese and delicious with French pastries.
