🥂 Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Brilliant golden yellow with fine, persistent bubbles.

• Nose: Aromatic and lively—pear, apple, and peach are front and center, complemented by citrus notes (mandarin, grapefruit) and elegant brioche and pastry hints from lees aging.

• Palate: Structured by a strong base of Pinot Noir, it delivers flavors of orchard fruit, citrus peel, and toasted bread. The use of reserve wines adds depth, dried fruit nuance, and complexity.

• Finish: Crisp and persistent with refined toast and a touch of salinity.
