FOOD MATCHING NOTE:

Sautéed langoustine with Chardonnay reduction, grilled asparagus with saffron aioli or grilled salmon with Thai curry sauce and basmati rice.

TASTING NOTE:

Lying about half a mile north-northwest of Le Monté this is an altogether tauter and tighter expression of Verzé. Slightly reductive (good) at the time of tasting, the fruit here is more clenched, more reserved, suggesting longer keeping perhaps but with an attractive mineral richness and poise to the finish.
