This trio of flavours is breathtaking! The lime takes up all the room you want to give it, which is why this spread is so generous with pears. And the basil adds a touch of refinement to the divine spread.
Louis-Jacques Bleau, Les Cavistes-WineSpectator Award Sommelier since 2014, describes this spread as follows:
Medium aromatic nose, carried on the aroma of slightly oxidized ripe pear and a subtle vegetal side.
In the mouth the attack is led by the aromatic power of lime and the sweetness of pear.
The basil aroma is rather discreet, but brings a unique dimension and creates a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. The lime peel adds chewiness and a pleasant texture.
La confiture a une longue persistance en bouche. La finale révèle des notes d’écorces d’agrumes amères et la vivacité de la gamme, qui donne envie d’en déguster davantage.
Suggested pairing: cheese platter or zucchini cake.
