Lucien Crochet Cuvée Prestige

The grapes were hand-picked and a belt was used to transfer the grapes to the pneumatic presses in order to avoid bruising the skins. After being cold settled, the must was left to ferment in thermo-regulated tanks for approximately 30 days with frequent stirring. The wine was racked late in July and bottled in August 2011.

Visual: Pale yellow, clear.

Nose: Powerful with aromas of very ripe fresh fruist and a touch of white peach.

Palate: Rich and complex, with notes of a compote of ripe fruits. Well balanced with a good acidity. Serving temperature set at 9–11°C, it is best served with fish such as turbot, John Dory or red mullet, or crustaceans such as lobster and scampi.
