Sight : The colour is pale yellow with green and brilliant reflections which already underline its characteristic freshness.
The nose: Its bouquet is very fine, racy, with subtle fruity aromas (citrus, peach, pear, stewed fruit, etc.) and floral aromas (white flowers, lime blossom, white nettle, etc.) as well as aniseed, cumin, liquorice and fennel seed.
It is unique in that, depending on the soil in which it is planted, it develops mineral aromas (flint, flint, oil, etc.). These very particular aromas are found in terroir wines (Grands Crus, lieux-dits).

In addition to its natural pairings with Alsatian cuisine (sauerkraut, matelote, smoked pork palette, etc.), it excels with fish, shellfish (scallops) and shellfish.

Produced in late harvest, it is an ideal partner for desserts including citrus fruits such as lemon pie.
