Description
An exceptional voile wine aged under cover for six years by Damien Bonnet at Domaine de Brin! Notes of ripe citrus, dried fruit, spices and dried flowers. The oxidative balance is sublime. Complexity and precision characterise this fresh, elegant wine, which unfolds into a long finish. A magnificent pairing with cheese, unless you prefer a cream-braised chicken.
