Pale golden yellow colour with silver reflections. Fine , dusty pearl. Initial aromas are dominated by exotic fruit and citrus accompanied by lively, mineral impressions. We detect lychee, grapefruit and a hint of dried fruits. After a while, more discreet notes of pepper and almond emerge. Generous mouthfeel that continues into the finish with notes of patisserie. Top Champagne!

Dry and high-quality aperitif. Typical Pinot Noir style which, due to its dry character, also goes very well with pure flavours from the sea such as seafood, fish carpaccio, sushi and sashimi.

vinification

100% Pinot Noir. Classic Méthode Traditionelle in which a simple still wine is made first (alcoholic and malolactic fermentation), which afterwards receives its pearl through a 2nd fermentation in the bottle 'liqueur de tirage'. After the 'prise de mousse', the 'remuage' starts where dead yeast cells sink into the neck of the bottle and are removed. No more addition of liqueur or sugars!
