APPEARANCE
Pale yellow hue with green highlights and a persistent stream of fine bubbles.

NOSE
Very charming complexity, balancing the zest of lemon sorbet with the rich, indulgent aroma of brioche.

PALATE
Prominent notes of green apple, citrus, pear and melon, balanced by a fine streak of mineral salinity and a subtle, toasty brioche finish from extended aging on the lees.

AGEING
Crafted using the méthode traditionnelle, it’s maturing 20 months on fine lees.

PAIRING
An ideal match for raw oysters, sushi, crab, and grilled shellfish, it pairs perfectly with charcuterie boards, light salads, and soft cheeses. Excellent purely on its own as a refreshing aperitif for celebrations.
