Description
The Moulin de Peyronin Romane white Bordeaux boasts a beautiful pale yellow colour with white-gold highlights. The nose is fresh and very expressive, with exotic aromas (mango, passion fruit, pineapple). The ageing notes (a hint of vanilla and some toasted touches) are subtle and perfectly integrated. The palate is fresh and lively at first, then broadens into a finish dominated by notes of ripe mango. The wine displays a pleasing tension, remarkable balance and a delicate, briny finish.

What to drink with a Romane du Moulin de Peyronin white Bordeaux?
A magical pairing with warm, gratinated oysters. It also goes well with all fish served with a champagne sauce or beurre blanc sauce. Grilled lobsters or langoustines. White meats. And all hard cheeses.
