Tasting

Brilliant straw yellow, clear viscosity, the yellow-white bouquet of flowers arises at the beginning and remains until the end, has a topaz apple found its way into the pear box? It seems so! Delicate hints of white snow roses, blossoming robinia, dry with an ideal acidity level that spans allover  the powerful structure, beautifully layered and endowed with promising complexity, pear again - freshly cut meadow flowers with fresh straw, fresh honeydew melon, like a ballet dancer, but the one who is able to lift two primadonnas with all his elegance. Green tea leads into the long finish. Probably unrivalled in its price range.

Pairing

Fusion cuisine across the seven continents and seas, toasted bread with pea cream and bacon butter, jellied cauliflower with red pesto, involtini with the herb of your choice, leaf salad with lukewarm duck stomach and olives, venison fillet deep-fried in panko, partridge with grammel cabbage, mushroom wok with or without sirloin and spicy polenta, casserole of eachtling with skinned yellow peppers and tomme de Valois, every sip a petition for Chardonnay as a world cultural heritage.
