Pale golden yellow color with beautiful fine pearl. Aromas of yellow stone fruit such as mirabelles, apricots and notes of hazelnuts that evolve into more discreet notes of pepper and almond after opening. A touch of brioche gives the whole even more class. Refreshing and generous style that culminates in a long, fine pungent final.

Fine yet tasty aperitif. Typical Pinot noir style that also tastes great with all kinds of snacks.

vinification

100% Pinot Noir. Classic méthode champenoise where an ordinary still wine is first made, which afterwards gets its pearl by a second fermentation in the bottle 'Liqueur de Tirage'. After the 'Prise de mousse', the 'remuage' starts in which dead yeast cells sink to the neck of the bottle and are removed. Before the champagne gets its final cork, a 'liqueur d'expédition' is added (in this case 'brut'). which determines the dryness of the champagne.
