Soil  This wine grew up in a mixture of gravel and clay (poudingues).

Vinification  The grapes are crushed and pressed, followed by racking, 1st and second fermentation. Then comes fining, filtering and lastly stabilization.

Tasting notes  A pale yellow robe with golden highlights. Its ample nose reveals scents of almond and honey. On the palate pear and linden flower can be found.  A wine with great complexity and length which are typical characteristics of wines from the Lavaux region.

Food & mood match  Ideal with an array of appetizers but in particular fish from the lake and mature cheeses.

When to drink  Serve between 10°- 12° or the temperature according to your personal taste.

How to store  Best enjoyed within 1 to 2 years, however certain vintages have the ageing potential for up to 20 years or more.

A few words from the winemaker  "The Lord of Lavaux remains the best still after a thousand years".
