The wines of this appellation

the Gamay or Cabernet reds are aromatic, fresh, soft and lively. They sport a ruby-red hue and exude fragrances of cherry, morello cherry and blackcurrant and are well-suited to dishes such as sauteed veal or duck. The whites (Sauvignon, Chardonnay) are fresh, harmonious and expressive. Try with fish (turbot).
