| The
Golden Character of the Wine!
The vineyards surrounding
both stronghold and Château produce exclusively Chardonnay grapes which flourish
in the chalky ochre-coloured soils on the sunny slopes.
At the Château you
can sample Pouilly-Vinzelles, an "appellation d'origine contrôlée". You will discover
its rich bouquet (including "apricot, mirabelle plum, and pink grapefruit") with
strong but yet complementary undertones derived from the particular character
of the soil. The wine may
be drunk immediately after purchase (which will be at least 18 months after the
grapes have been harvested) or it may be left to mature a few years in order to
reveal its hidden flavours. Pouilly-Vinzelles
is best served between the temperatures of 11 and 13° C. It complements shellfish,
poultry, and white meat. It is also delicious with foie gras, goat's cheese and
other delicate dishes. "Bonum
vinum laetificat cor hominis" Ecclesiasticus XL, 20 |
