blanc de noirs
MÉTHODE CHAMPENOISE
-
Elegant streams of ultra-fine bubbles fill the glass, complemented by generous aromas of bright lemon, freshly cut hay, and a hint of strawberry and currant.
The palate is crisp and vibrant, showcasing a concentration of flavors that range from ripe Meyer lemon to white cherry, white peach, gentle notes of honeyed brioche and a whisper of buttered croissant. The energetic and lively bubbles persist alongside the heightening complexity of aromas. With a barely perceptible dosage, the result is an evocative representation of Carneros terroir with a finish that is bright, clean and endlessly refreshing.
