Vinification: 9 months on the yeasts in enamelled tanks, Maturation in the bottle on the yeasts in our cellars. Aging for a minimum of 7 years.

Pale and brilliant golden yellow colour, fine, dense and persistent bubbles. On the nose it is incisive, intense, complex, refined. Notes of yellow flowers, chamomile, acacia flowers, fruity aromas, green apple, citrus fruits, dried fruit, hazelnut, almond, hints of pastry, brioche bread, icing sugar and mineral notes. On the palate the perlage is lively and creamy. The sip is full and enveloping, with a beautiful freshness and flavor, and a long finish that recalls mineral and almond notes.
