Tasting Notes:

• Colour: A golden yellow hue with bright highlights and magnificent, soft bubbles that evoke elegance and refinement.
• Nose: A bouquet of white flowers like jasmine and orange blossom, intertwined with citrus zest, wheat, and a fresh, marine impression. Notes of iodine, sea spray, and powdered chalk add depth, with hints of grilled almonds emerging after aeration.
• Palate: Creamy and caressing, the palate offers softness and finesse with velvet-like textures that quickly transition to fresh, marine, and powdery sensations. The finish is smooth, saline, and stretches out like a shaft of sunshine, leaving a lingering and mouth-watering zesty freshness.

• Grape Varietal: 100% Chardonnay, sourced from the Grands Crus of Avize in the Côte des Blancs.
• Vinification: Aged on lees for five years and left for a minimum of six months after disgorgement to reach perfect maturity.
• Vintage Character: The 2017 vintage was marked by cool, wet spring weather followed by a warm, dry summer. These conditions produced intensely fruity and silky Pinot Noirs, while the Chardonnays are chiselled and saline, offering outstanding quality and depth.
