A true mountain wine, this is vivacious and fresh. Aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, melon and paraffin are light and take a good swirling in the glass to evoke. There’s a nervous tension here, with the citrus and melon notes joined by Bosc pear and a salty minerality. Chill lightly and sip as an aperitif or enjoy with seared scallops or white fish in a lemon caper beurre blanc.
