It is an archetypical Entre-deux-Mers that goes beautifully with all fish and seafood dishes.

Conditions météorologiques
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.

Dégustation
A pale yellow colour with silver highlights.
Intense, the nose reveals delicious aromas of fruit and citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-balanced, with well-controlled acidity providing a pleasant freshness throughout. The grapefruit notes here add extra flavour. A fresh and very pleasant wine.
