## Food pairing

Sweet dessert wines with vibrant acidity pair exceptionally well with rich, salty foods like blue cheese or foie gras, balancing saltiness with sweetness while acidity cuts through fat. High acidity also seamlessly matches citrus and fruit-based desserts.

## Wine making process

Grapes are harvested entirely by hand through successive selective passes (triés successives) to collect only individual berries affected by Botrytis cinerea (noble rot). Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve fruit character, followed by 12 months of maturation in oak barrels.
