Tasting comments

par Manuel Peyrondet - Best Sommelier of France, 2008
VINTAGE 2008
Tasted December 2nd 2009 at 8° Celsius

COLOR
The Sylvaner is pale yellow with glints of silver, limpid and quite brilliant, hinting at its crispness.
NOSE
Before breathing, the nose reveals an earthy, spring-like aroma, mixing fine lemony notes with those of juicy pears. Breathing intensifies the wine’s crispness. Notes of mint and angelica mingle with a cocktail of citrus and zests, through which you can sense the characteristic bitterness.
TASTE
Light and fresh on the palate with floral aromas, the wine develops thanks to its fine, thirst-quenching acidity. A short but fresh finish is characterized by a slight bitterness that gives depth to the tasting.
PAI 2-3 caudalies

MY THOUGHTS
This is a beautiful reading of the Sylvaner varietal, represented these days by a fresh and spring-like style. This particularly dry wine, light, tasty and well-balanced, would be best enhanced by dishes with lots of fresh herbs and citrus, served in a cool and relaxed atmosphere.

TO SERVE WITH...
• Lobster sushi, parboiled, with lemongrass juice
• Spring rolls and fresh mint
• Fish in cream with a wheat-beer sauce

Serve at 8° C. To drink in the next 3 years.
Decant in order to let the bouquet develop.
