Grape variety: Chardonnay
This sparkling wine is medium lemon-green in colour, with fine bubbles. It has an appealing, layered nose of moderate intensity with nice autolysis, giving a positive first impression, with aromas of cream, butter, brioche, apple, lemon, pear, acacia flower and peach. It is even less intense and not very complex on the light-bodied palate, with a short to medium finish, but it is balanced and elegant with persistent bubbles and crisp acidity. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (1-3 years).
