Tasting Note
An intense fusion of fruit scents on the nose, such as white peaches, and heady floral aromas evoking white flowers. Medium to full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel, lively acidity, flavors of green apples, pears, lemon zest, and honeydew. Le Berceau is just about perfect. It really shines on its own or with oysters, cheese, fried zucchini, and more.
