France's Oldest Sparkling Wine
Winemaker Notes
Beautiful salmon pink color, bubbles are lingering. The nose presents a nice vinosity and a beautiful aromatic richness with notes of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry). This aromas evolve towards toasted and brioche giving harmony to the bouquet. The freshness of the palate is the result of the refined effervescence and the beautiful acidity. Ends with a lingering and refreshing finish.

The grapes are selected from clay-limestone plots that capture both the Oceanic and Mediterranean influences.
