Characteristics: The soil of the Perrières is difficult to work and very fragile. The vineyard was abandoned after the phylloxera epidemic for these very reasons. However, the wine produced is wonderfully lively and very mineral. It needs at least two or three years after being bottled to show its true colours. Since 2000, the wine has been aged for 18 months in second or third generation oak barrels without either fining or filtering.

To accompany: It makes a perfect accompaniment to poultry, white fish and shellfish. A wine for wine lovers.
