Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Gentle pressing followed by fermentation in stainless steel, then six months on the lees. Bottling with a crown cap after the addition of the liqueur de tirage. Second fermentation and 72 months on the lees. Subsequent disgorgement with minimal dosage, then a further three months of bottle ageing before release.
Pale gold, Seductive on the nose, with yeasty notes, citrus and pronounced minerality. Assertive entry on the palate. Extremely fine, beautifully integrated bubbles along with complex, compact flavours.
Sourced from a small vineyard with extremely calcareous soils at an altitude of 400 metres. Only 800 to 900 bottles are produced each vintage.
