Grape variety: Pinot Noir; Chardonnay
The wine is light pink in colour with a strawberry tint; persistent perlage of small bubbles. Clean nose of moderate intensity; aromas of bread dough, brioche, cream, light notes of cheese, red berries and ripe red apple. On the palate, the wine is dry, with moderate perfectly-integrated alcohol, high crisp acidity, a medium body, moderate plus fruit concentration on the medium finish with notes of brioche and red apple. Very good quality with author's style; elegant, restrained and complex aromatics dominated by notes of ageing on the lees and a pleasant addition of red berries; on the palate, the wine is balanced, juicy, with nice fruitiness and quite mouth-coating. Ready for drinking with potential for further development in the bottle (2-3 years).
