Riesling “Cuvée Jean-Charles”
Tasting :
• Colour : Crystal-clear, pale yellow, very bright.
• Nose : Citrus fruits, pear, pineapple and quince aromas.
• Mouth : A first impression fresh and distinguished, with fruity and floral flavours following on with a virile, lingering character.
Our advice : This is a traditional Riesling, with great acidity and a silky smooth texture. It is an excellent accompaniment to fish, shellfish and white meat but also to typical Alsatian cuisine such as choucroute and baeckeoffe, or to Sushi.
Temperature : Serve chilled between 8-10°C (47-50°F).
