TASTING NOTES :
The Kerner from the Les Pléiades range is a remarkable discovery, highlighting a rarely seen grape variety in our regions. This wine is distinguished by its beautiful clarity and fine nose, offering slightly spicy notes and a solid structure. On the palate, its power unfolds with floral tones, reminiscent of the three suns of Lavaux. This wine deserves long aging to reveal its full complexity and richness.
FOOD PAIRING :
The Cuvée Alcyone, made from the Kerner grape, is the ideal accompaniment for exquisite pike with caper sauce. The delicate and aromatic notes of this wine wonderfully complement the richness of the pike and the intensity of the caper sauce, creating a harmonious and unforgettable tasting experience.
