"This off-dry white wine has a floral, citrus-fruit aroma, with flavors of tropical fruits and candied delicacies. It is medium weight and very refreshing, but it also has some noticeable mouthfeel due to barrel fermentation and being kept "Sur Lie" for more fruit flavors and a longer aftertaste. It is a hardy wine that can match the pates, foie gras, duck, sausages and hearty fare so characteristic of the Perigord of Southwest France, where it is made. Yet locals tend to pair it with their Spring or Summer menus, like salads, fish and shellfish, or simple dishes like chicken cutlets with lemon. " - Winery

Very good inexpensive made from a unique grape. Grape name means "far from the eye". Interesting story.
