"La Charme Aux Prêtres is Sylvain PATAILLE's most renowned Aligoté; it is a wine that ages admirably well. Invigorating and saline on the palate, it seduces with aromas of lemon, almond cream, and honey. This is not an aperitif wine, but a true gastronomic wine in which the winemaker's genius is fully expressed!"
