- Brief description of viticulture, fermentation, vinification and maturation: This classic assemblage of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier is deep, complex sparkling with a rich and precise mousse with pronounced biscuity notes, a subtle combination of structure, length and purity. The expressive nose with some complexity opens with white flower aromas followed by fine biscuity layers, hints of candied fruits and brioche. The palate is seductive, round and well-balanced.
