A model of balance, the absence of dosage preserves intact the typicity of each terroir.
Eyes: crystal clear and pure, with a silky appearance, pale gold tints and very fine bubbles.
Nose: the first nose is very pure and franc, full of minerality and salinity with notes of white fruit such as nectarine or peach.
Palate: The fresh attack is delicately followed by saline notes and a lovely lemony tension. Its natural sweetness is accompanied by a very aromatic richness, dominated by white-fleshed fruit, and reveals a texture that is both precise and juicy.
