Grape variety: Pinot Noir 70%; Chardonnay 30%
The wine is pale lemon in colour. Delicate thin perlage of small bubbles. A complex and gentle nose; aromas of green apple, camomile, minerality, notes of ageing on lees (toast, brioche). Delicately balanced crisp refreshing acidity, dosage and moderate alcohol; light-bodied and harmonious on the palate; flavours of white currant, ripe white gooseberry, apple and butter in a very long finish. Ready for drinking with a potential for ageing. Tasted blind.
