The dosage of 7 g/l maintains the Brut style in a harmonious and precise dimension.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense golden yellow, bright and crossed by a fine and lively perlage. The bouquet is refined and complex: initially, dried flowers, rose petal, and a slight peppery note emerge, followed by hints of vanilla and candied fruit. On the palate, the attack is balanced, with citrus notes and a freshness that supports the sip. The sensations of quince and green tea add depth, while the structure provided by the Pinot Noir accompanies a long, elegant, and decidedly satisfying persistence.
