Wine tasting: With a canary yellow hue tinged with gold, the Les Huttières cuvée reveals a typical Chenin nose with ripe yellow fruits and linden blossom. The character of the schist terroir comes through with a hint of fresh yeast. This leads to a saline, dense and structured palate.
Best served with: Pair the Les Huttières with fresh, briny dishes that echo the wine’s salinity and acidity. It is ideal with refined cuisine such as scallop tartare or oysters. You can also opt for Loire Valley goat’s cheese, such as Crottin de Chavignol. Best decanted and served between 11 and 12°C. (52 - 53 F°)
