Appearance
Brilliant golden color with bright reflections. Clear and elegant visual expression with fine effervescence.
Nose
Aromatic profile reveals fresh white fruits — pear and white peach — combined with delicate floral hints and chalky minerality. The bouquet is pure, subtle, and perfectly balanced.?
Palate
Extra brut style: dry, elegant, and refined. On the palate, crisp white fruits (pear, apple) dominate, underlined by lively acidity and a light saline, mineral backbone. Texture is silky and harmonious, with a refined balance.
Finish
Medium-long to long finish, with restrained minerality and subtle bitterness that adds charm and freshness. A clean, precise aftertaste encourages another sip.
