Les Aussigouins - Mai & Kenji Hodgson

Les Aussigouins by Mai & Kenji Hodgson is a white wine that is articulated and elegant, very mineral, obtained from 100% chenin blanc grapes that come from forty-year-old vines found on volcanic soil. Refines for 18 months in wooden barrels. What to say? Give it a try and you'll be hooked.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 8/10° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but will express its best in a few years.

Pairings

Excellent wine to combine with fish appetizers, first courses with vegetables, second courses based on white meats.
