Identity
This confidential vintage is the result of a plot-by-plot selection of the limestone hillsides overlooking the noble valley. A blend of cask-aged and concrete, this Sylvaner is a gastronomic wine.
Winemaking
Hybrid fermentation and maturation: half of the cuvée was vinified in oak barrels and the other half in ovoid concrete vats for 10 months.

"Adorned with light gold with luminous reflections, this Sylvaner begins its olfactory approach with a pleasant display of white fruit and floral aromas. When agitated, a hint of minerality joins this seductive ballet.The palate, fresh from the start, sees roundness take over as the dominant force, stimulated in the finish by a hint of acidity enhanced by lemony notes. An excellent wine - let's not mince words - to be reserved for scallops." by Pierre Carbonnier, Paris Bistrot, April 2024.
Eye
Pale yellow color with golden highlights.
Nose
Lovely woody and toasty notes. Fruity freshness on opening (white peach, quince).
On the palate
Powerful wine with a subtle liveliness. The mouth-watering acidity blends into the wine and reveals aromas of grapefruit and pear.
What to eat with Sylvaner Exception?
It goes wonderfully with poultry and fish dishes in sauce, pan-fried scallops, or even dry goat's cheeses. We recommend that you decant this wine to appreciate its complexity.
