Appearance
Bright light-gold color with silver highlights. Crystal-clear brilliance, elegant mousse, and fine texture.
Nose
Intense and precise bouquet: ripe lemon, fresh grapefruit, white blossoms, and chalky minerality. A pure and elegant aromatic expression of Avize.
Palate
Dry, vibrant, and structured. Citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), white peach, and crisp apple combine with a strong chalky backbone. The acidity provides clarity and freshness, while the dosage of 4.0 g/L rounds out the texture without diminishing its purity.?
Finish
Long, lively, and mineral-driven. The finish lingers with notes of citrus zest, chalk, and saline freshness, leaving a clean and refined aftertaste.
