Chateau d'Auvernier Neuchâtel Blanc AOC, Non filtré (Sélection Tradition)

A Neuchâtel specialty made from the Chasselas Fendant Roux grape, Neuchâtel Blanc Non Filtré is the first wine of the year, released on the third Wednesday of January.

Its cloudy appearance comes from the lees in suspension, which also impart unexpected citrus notes, especially grapefruit.

Served in the style of Neuchâtel Blanc, it pairs beautifully with an aperitif or, at the table, with lake fish. It also complements asparagus or a hard-boiled egg wonderfully.

Some enjoy it very young, delightfully fresh and cloudy. Chateau d'Auvernier prefers it more mature, with a lightly veiled appearance. In this case, it comes from a summer bottling and can age for several years without losing its freshness, as the lees help preserve it.

Serving temperature: 10 - 12°C
