Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Crystal clear, pale straw with subtle green reflections, reflecting its youthful vibrancy and purity.
Nose:
The aromatic profile is defined by a powerful medley of citrus fruits-think freshly zested lemon and lime-intertwined with expressive hints of exotic fruits such as passionfruit and gooseberry. There are also delicate undertones of white flowers and a whisper of fresh-cut grass, enhancing the freshness and allure.
Palate:
On the palate, Le Rimonet reveals exquisite balance. Zesty citrus and ripe tropical fruit flavours are carried by a lively acidity, creating a wine that is both energetic and refined. Layers of crushed stone and subtle herbal notes add complexity, while the texture remains refreshing and smooth, making it incredibly drinkable.
Finish:
The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, with a persistence that leaves the mouth tingling and refreshed. A touch of salinity and citrus zest lingers, inviting another sip.
Pair Quincy Le Rimonet with mussels, fresh fish and seafood, or savour it alongside goat's cheese like the classic Crottin de Chavignol. Its elegance and balance also make it a smart choice for cheese fondues and a wide variety of lighter fare.
