Technical notes

The grapes come from vineyards, dedicated entirely to sparkling wine varieties, which are sited on west-facing, medium-high/high hillsides with marked variations in day and night-time temperatures. The grapes undergo delicate pressing to obtain a high-quality must, which is then carefully fermented in steel casks at a controlled temperature of 16-17 °C, before resting on the lees for a number of months. After the addition of liquer de tirage, the wine is bottled and aged horizontally in the modern cellar at 10-12°C for secondary fermentation, it then is left to rest on the lees for at least 38 months. No liqueur d’expédition is added during disgorgement but the bottles are topped up with wine from other bottles to create a product which is free from added sugars.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the wine is bright straw yellow bursting with intense, very fine, long-lasting bubbles. On the nose, the bouquet reveals floral notes of yellow flowers (Spanish broom, wintersweet) and notes of both ripe and fresh yellowfleshed fruits (banana, mango) with subtle hints of yeast. Decidedly fresh and lively on the palate, backed up by by an extraordinarily fine and enveloping effervescence, which is perfectly integrated with the sensations of energy and suppleness which come from the wine’s lengthy time on the lees. A long, exuberantly aromatic finish with notes of flowers, crisp and ripe fruits and herbs just brims with alpine personality.
