Pairings: Seafood, grilled fish, white meat and mild cheese.

The pale yellow color of this French Burgundy is deceiving.  On the nose, it shows bright lemony and freshly cut grass aromas.  In the mouth, it’s bright and crisp with Meyer lemon and Asian pear flavors.

Pairings:  Salmon tartare, sauteed white-flesh fish, white pizza.

Style: White

Grape Type(s): Chardonnay
