Alain Gueneau is a family run winery. Along with Alain works his children Elisa and Dominique. The estate is comprised of 16 hectares of vines under the AOC. The vineyards are planted on the steep slopes that surround the villages of Sury-en-Vaux.
Pale yellow in colour with green and golden highlights. Hints of tomato leaf, menthol and nettle developing into elderflower, citrus and thyme. On the palate, it is well balanced with strong lemon and grapefruit flavours. The finish is long, with notes of pear.
It makes a wonderful accompaniment to fish, smoked salmon, white meats and goat’s cheese and can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.
