La Grande Année has a bright color with golden highlights. On the nose we have floral aromas with notes of spices, stone fruits, saffron accompanied by mineral highlights. When you taste it, you will pick up hints of fruits, feel the velvet sparkles and the long aftertaste. You may pair it with fish tartare, lobster and poultry with white, light sauce.
