Gravel, sand and calcareous clay sites, south-facing
Vinification:

Dégustation:
Appearance: Transparent, pale yellow. Nose: Lively, lacy, with charm; forthright, and full of the subtle aromas of this fine grape. Palate: A delicious wine with delicate acidity and a slightly bitter, lemony character. Good length, finishing supple and fruity. Smokey, ripe fruit and liquorice. By and large for enjoying very young, but also keeps well.
Accords mets-vins:
An excellent aperitif wine, but irresistible on its own at any moment.
Références:
Peppery aromas of curry powder and ginger ; a bit like grüner veltliner on the nose. Dry and rather chewy, with good texture and cut. A bit closed today but shows plenty of flavor. Needs to be served with food.
Stephen Tanzer’s, International Wine Cellar-July August 2001.

Explosive aromas of lime, flowers, mint and resin. Intense, dry and shapely, with good cut and mineral character. Stylish, intense, scented muscat.
