Tasting notes
Yellow pale robe, green reflect, crystal clear. Mineral, slightly iodized nose as well as notes of citrus fruits, grapefruit, green, fresh and elegant lemon. The mouth is fresh and pleasant, good acidity, the aromas of fresh fruit and citrus are bound with stony flavors.

Food and wine pairings
Our Mâcon-Azé 2009 will perfectly pair with poultry in a sauce, shellfishes (which would stand out the mineral aromas) and grilled fishes.

It can be served from now at 11 à 13° C or kept in cellar during 3 to 5 years.
