Tasting: Idylle offers a pale golden color. The nose reveals notes of green lemon and white fruits with a nice spicy touch. On the palate, this wine is round and elegant. The balance between fruity and acidity is well balanced.
 
Companion: Enjoy it as an aperitif, but will be perfect with a fish soup, smoked salmon, sushi and spicy food.
