The animals shown on the label are dogs, from the breed called Borzoi, or "Russian Wolfhound", which means "fast" in Russian. Patricia and Alain Corcia are the proud owners of 2 Borzois and they designed the label to represent the dogs as the guardians of the vaulted ageing cellar inside their house.
The wine is produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown on Kimmeridgian soils. A golden color with green highlights, a fresh and aromatic nose with white flower nuances. Round and smooth in the mouth, slight oak flavors on the finish with vanilla notes.
Best over any white meat, fish and cheese. Also as pre dinner drink.
"The smooth, vanilla-scented resonance of oak lays itself like balm on this wine's lemony nose. On the palate, the oak, creaminess and lemon freshness come together as a harmonious trinity, each holding its own with poise. There's depth and freshness too. - ANNE KREBIEHL MW"
