The 2024 Special Selection Monarque opens with a delicate perfume of ripe sweet apple and a whisper of freshly grated ginger, setting the stage for a vibrant, fruit-driven experience. On the palate, lush stone fruit—think sun-warmed peach and apricot—meets a lively backbone of bright acidity that keeps each sip refreshingly crisp. As the wine unfolds, exotic lychee emerges, adding a tropical flourish that lingers beautifully. The finish is clean yet expansive, with the interplay of fruit and spice leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse.
The 2024 Special Selection Monarque pairs beautifully with fresh and light dishes that highlight its bright fruit and floral notes. Enjoy it with grilled shrimp, pan-seared halibut, or lemon-herb roasted chicken. Its crisp acidity also complements Mediterranean dishes, such as Greek salads, hummus platters, or seafood pasta with a white wine sauce. For a cheese pairing, try it with fresh chèvre, brie, or burrata. Whether sipped on a sunny afternoon or paired with a gourmet meal, this elegant and refreshing white wine is perfect for any occasion.
