Color

medium straw yellow to golden yellow

Nose

The Au Vignerais Cuvée Zen seamlessly joins the fresh, clear and bright aromatics of the 2020 vintage at La Soufrandière. Lemon zest and freshly cut lemons as well as limequats, some anise and pencil, stone and oyster shells can be found here as well as a silky note of pear cream and some yeast hidden in the background.

Palate

On the palate, the wine is extremely juicy and elegant. Here comes a wine that 1er Cru The Chardonnay brings an additional dimension of depth and body into play. The Chardonnay is full of tension and pressure with its lively acidity, but at the same time enormously creamy, silky, palatable in its ripe fruit and then again stony and cool, slightly electrifying and salty. The low sulphur content makes the wine appear open, slightly yeasty and extract-sweet, which, together with the saltiness, has a vehement effect on the drinking flow.
