Roux Pere & Fils, Rully, La Martelle Blanc

Color: Gold flecked with green, and the gold deepens with age.
Nose: It is redolent with superb aromas of hedgerow flowers (acacia, may, honeysuckle, and a very delicate elderflower) as well as violet, lemon, white peach, or flint. Time brings out honey, quince, and dried fruits.
Palate: Full of fruit, and the palate is lively and well-rounded, meaty and long.

Food Pairing: Fried river-fish, sea-fish in white sauce, or hot crustaceans. Its fruit means that it adapts well to hard cheeses such as Comté, and conducts an amicable dialogue with fine poultry in cream sauces. It can also be enjoyed as a pre-dinner drink.
