Comment

10 km northwest of Montpellier lies "Le Chemin des Rêves." The name of this winery comes from a small path that borders the vineyards, where the winemaking couple enjoys taking walks. The poetry is not only in the names that adorn the labels but also in the glass.

Tasting notes

The La Soie Blanche cuvée is atypical, with a dense, creamy texture due to bâtonnage on fine lees for 4 months. This complexity is reflected on the palate with a range of aromas from white fruits to floral notes, finishing with a refreshing sensation.

Food pairing

With the creaminess and aromatic complexity of this wine, try a Japanese dish such as tuna sashimi with sesame and yuzu vinaigrette. The yuzu balances the wine’s creaminess, while the sesame and tuna enhance its umami notes. For a vegetarian option in the same spirit, opt for vegetable tempura. The crispy texture of the tempura contrasts nicely with the wine’s creaminess.
