Vinification by the classic method, base wines are partly fermented in vats, partly – in barrels, and remain on the lees for 3 months. After the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine remains on the lees for 16-18 months before disgorging) The wine has a pale lemon yellow colour. On the nose, it offers a distinguished and expressive minerality (limestone, wet stone, saline), associated with the liveliness of citrus fruits (lime, yellow lemon, grapefruit), the gourmandise and juiciness of stone fruits (white peach, apricot), as well as light spicy notes (nutmeg, a hint of vanilla in the background), toasted hazelnut, acacia honey and brioche.
