Straw-yellow with fine, persistent mousse; aromas of brioche, lemon blossom, honey and toasted nuts. Palate shows orchard and dried fruit, bright citrus acidity and a creamy, mineral finish (elegant and balanced).

Production Method
Traditional method (secondary in‑bottle fermentation), first fermentation in stainless steel, aged on lees for 24–30+ months with hand riddling and a final 'poignettage'; made using selected yeast strains.
