NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Les Vignes de Paradis Quintessence AOP Vin de Savoie Chasselas dazzles with a pristine lemon hue and exudes a vibrant array of aromatics.On the nose, lively citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit merge with fresh mint and white flowers, complemented by a distinctive salty breeze reminiscent of coastal air. The palate unfolds smoothly, displaying a silky texture with flavors of lemon, grapefruit, and a savory hint of orange oil. Subtle undertones of white pepper and salt add complexity, while a high-toned minerality and well-balanced acidity enhance the structure. The finish lingers elegantly with a refreshing note of juniper berries, leaving a harmonious and crisp impression. This wine pairs exquisitely with seafood, fresh cheeses, and light vegetarian dishes, making it a versatile choice for an array of culinary delights.
