Tasting notes

Brut sparkling wine with a significant, persistent mousse, very structured and distinctive, with intense, mildly aromatic scents. Full-bodied and savoury on the palate, with good acidity and softness. Long-lived, it refines over the years.

Pairs well with

Pairs well with substantial, flavourful or spicy dishes, especially seafood first courses, mussels and fish soup. Good on any occasion and as an aperitif.

Vinification
Grapes are picked exclusively by hand into perforated crates with careful sorting, then pressed gently within a few hours. The juice clarifies within hours and ferments slowly at a controlled 13°C until all the grape sugars are consumed, giving the base wine for the bottle refermentation, which takes place in a dedicated underground gallery at low, constant temperature. Minimum 9 months of ageing in bottle. About 2,500 bottles of 0.75 L.
