La Serpette (pruning knife) is one of the most important vintner's tools - a symbol that enhances the significant role of the manual work in winemaking that reflects and highlights the typicity of the terroir. Wine is not "made" in the cellar as everything starts in the vineyards, from the vineplant and the grape.
The wine offers a beautiful nose of coconut and subtle vanilla. The very "Caribbean" mouthfeel exhibits nutmeg and brown sugar flavors, white rum and candied citrus fruits. Like a sweet wine, without the sugar.
Asian cuisine as well as exotic food. Well pair with spices. Nice with the classic foie gras and with matured cheeses.
"This wine embodies what Chenin Blanc can do in the proper winemaker's hands and with oak restraint. Lemon to gold in color, it has complex aromatics that leap from the glass, suggesting golden apple, vanilla baking spice, brioche, bread dough, yogurt and dried white blossom. The wine is creamy, supple and multifaceted. — Reggie SOLOMON"
