Flavor profile:
-
Nose: An inviting bouquet of ripe yellow fruits such as quince and apricot, with floral honey and a touch of minerality.
-
Taste: On the tongue you can taste a rich but elegant sweetness that highlights notes of exotic fruits, peach and pineapple, supported by a fresh acidity that keeps the wine in balance. It has a silky texture with a long, pleasant aftertaste that introduces a subtle spicy nuance.
-
Serving: This wine is best served chilled at 10-12°C and is a great companion to blue cheese, pâté, fruit-based desserts or even spicy Asian cuisine.
Winery:
Petit Côteau hand harvests their Chenin Blanc grapes to ensure the highest quality. The wine ferments slowly, and some of the grapes may be affected by "noble rot" (Botrytis cinerea), which adds complexity and concentration to the wine. "L'Etoile" 2018 is a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged to develop even more depth over time.
Recommendation:
"L'Etoile" is more than just a wine; it is an experience. It is ideal for those looking for a sweet wine with character and depth, or for those who want to treat themselves or others to something truly special from the Loire Valley.
