"This cuvée immediately attracts with its powerful nose, combining exotic fruits (pineapple, mango, lychee) with apricot and grapefruit. These aromas develop with persistence on the palate, which is smooth on the attack and fresh on the finish. Remarkable balance. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Domain rated (guide 2016) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
This cuvée immediately attracts with its powerful nose, combining exotic fruits (pineapple, mango, lychee) with apricot and grapefruit. These aromas develop persistently on the palate, which is smooth on the attack and fresh on the finish. Remarkable balance.
About the domain :
Situated at the westernmost point of the Nantes vineyards, Sainte-Pazanne is a commune that is mainly focused on agriculture. One wine-growing island remains: that of cousins Emmanuel and Laurent Guitteny, who have been at the head of a 30-hectare vineyard since 2000.
