TERROIR
Located at the extreme northeastern limit of the Minervois appellation, Muscat de Saint-Jean-de-Minervois produces only Vins Doux Naturels.
Our vines are located on a very stony plateau of lacustrine limestone, between 280 and 300 meters above sea level.
WINE MAKING
The vines, over 15 years old, are gobelet pruned. No irrigation. Vinification at very low temperature. Matured in stainless steel vats for around 6 months, then aged in new oak barrels for 12 months.
TASTING
Attractive pale yellow color with golden highlights. The nose is characterized by floral notes: lily of the valley, jasmine, orange blossom, as well as discreet roasted and hazelnut notes.
The palate is full-bodied and round, yet fresh, with aromas of warm bread, brioche, exotic fruit, tangerine and pineapple. Long-lasting aromatic finish, with hints of brioche.
FOOD & WINE PAIRING
Ideal as an aperitif, with canapés of fish, foie gras or blue-veined cheeses, or as an accompaniment to a fresh fruit dessert, as well as at the end of a meal.
TEMPERATURE OF SERVICE
8-10°C.
