blanc de blancs
MÉTHODE CHAMPENOISE
-
In the glass, the wine presents a brilliant, pale straw color with subtle golden reflections. A steady stream of fine, persistent bubbles rise elegantly through the glass, creating a delicate and refined mousse.
On the nose, the bouquet is elegant and complex, opening with lifted aromas of honeysuckle blossom, citrus zest, and fresh-cut hay. Layers of acacia flower, Asian pear, and white peach emerge with time in the glass, accompanied by subtle notes of almond pastry and toasted brioche. A delicate chalk-like minerality provides precision and depth, reflecting the wine's extended maturation on the lees.
On the palate, the wine is both precise and generous, delivering a beautiful balance of vibrant acidity and creamy texture. Flavors of candied citrus, Meyer lemon, ripe pear, and white peach unfold across a finely textured frame. These bright fruit notes are layered with nuances of almond croissant, toasted brioche, and a touch of honeycomb, adding complexity without sacrificing freshness. The delicate mousse and fine bead carry the wine to a long, polished finish marked by elegance, energy, and remarkable purity.

Delicate aromas of rose petals, white strawberry, and cherry blossom lift from the glass, giving way to subtle hints of fresh cream and honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine is poised and elegant, with subtle red berry notes layered over nuances of crushed oyster shell and a whisper of coastal minerality. As the wine opens up more stone fruit notes start to appear alongside rose water and slight pear flavors.
The mousse is fine and persistent, forming a delicate bead that carries the flavors with precision. Acidity is bright yet seamlessly integrated, lending freshness without sharpness and driving the wine’s balance and finesse.
The finish is lingering, crisp, and refreshing — a clean, mineral-edged finish with bright red fruit and subtle salinity that invites another sip.
