Why We Selected This Wine
A wine that unites the two Burgundy varieties - Chardonnay and Aligote, but this time from vineyards around Lyaskovets. Aligote, long underestimated in Burgundy and considered secondary to Chardonnay, here shows its own character, specific also because the vineyards are over 40 years old.
Vinification Philosophy
- The grapes come from over 40-year-old vineyards near Lyaskovets
- Part of the wine has contact with acacia barrels for several months

Zaara Cow's milk cheese with figs
The intense fruity and floral notes of the blend enhance the honeyed and fruity nuances of the figs. The acidity of the wine meets the fat of the yellow cheese and refreshes the palate. The figs bring a delicate sweetness to the taste, which adds to the density and aroma of the wine.
Zaara Cow's milk cheese with herbs
The herbal and grassy notes of the blend meet the spices of the yellow cheese and complement and enhance each other. The freshness in the wine "cuts" the fat in the yellow cheese and refreshes the palate.
Snail Truffle pâté
A good choice for a deeper and velvety finish. The citrus and floral notes in the wine contrast the earthy truffle, and the acidity "cuts" the fat in the pâté.
