41% Chardonnay, 38% Pinot Noir, 21% Meunier
Light golden yellow colour with fine, persistent bubbles
The wine’s maturity is immediately apparent, with autumnal notes of roasted chestnuts, toasted buckwheat, rich nuts, honey and nougat. White fruit is then revealed, reminiscent of a mealy apple or a beautifully ripe pear. Scents of iodine, dried flowers and pine sap complete the aromatic bouquet.
The palate is direct and energetic, supported by lively yet delicate acidity, and a finely polished structure, enveloped by a refined, grainy texture. The wine finishes with a pleasant hint of white grapefruit bitterness.

Toasted notes of brown butter, roasted chestnuts. Fresh yellow, slightly golden hues of sabayon, grapefruit segments. Iodized hues of sea urchin, oyster.
The structure is well-defined, like a citrus fruit segment, whose cells gently burst with freshness. The lively effervescence creates a fine granular sensation like the delicate ridges of shellfish. Lightness calls for soft substance.
