Harvesting is exclusively manual and takes place in mid-August. Each grape variety is harvested separately. After separate fermentation, there is a seven-month aging period by variety in stainless steel tanks. The result is a base wine with 11% alcohol. Subsequently, all three varieties are blended. The wine is then poured into 0.75-liter bottles, where secondary fermentation occurs. The wine rests on lees (sur lie) for at least 48 months, followed by manual disgorging and the addition of liqueur without additional sugar (pas dose).
The sparkling wine has a yellow-green color with golden hues. The fine and subtle bubbles are lively and energetic. Its aroma is complex and seductive, with notes of candied fruit, brioche, and bread crust. The pronounced minerality and highlighted freshness of citrus are evident. On the palate, there are notes of white fruit, citrus, and pastry, culminating in a convincing and long mineral finish.
Serve the sparkling wine well chilled at 5–8 °C.
