Louis de Grenelle Saumur Blanc Brut Ivoire, Loire Valley

Thin and continuous beading rises up through the characteristic yellow-gold colour. The nose first develops aromas of apricot and peach before turning into brioche and hazelnuts. The palate is both floral (acacia, lime tree) and fruity (candied lemon, citrus). A highly sensual wine. A perfect aperitif alongside pastry hors d'oeuvres to open proceedings. This delectable wine is also a great fizzy finale to go with desserts, particularly those with caramel flavours.
