Color: pale gold hue, golden reflections. Nose: beautiful freshness, with notes of almonds and lemon. Floral and pastry hints. Palate: lively and clear attack that persists in length with remarkable breadth and freshness. Round, balanced, pleasant, and indulgent. Pairing: sea bass fillet with butter and citrus; stuffed Bresse chicken. Comment: a lovely vintage with character that still possesses a lightness that invites a second sip.
