$83.00
SOIL: Dominated by chalk and flint
VITICULTURE: Practicing organic; manual harvest and stringent grape selection
VINIFICATION: Direct press and selection of the first juices, cold maceration of the lees for 4-5 days before alcoholic fermentation to extract more aromas, then the juice is put into barrels. Fermentation in barrels, demi-muids and foudres.
AGING: Eight months oak aging. No fining and light filtration, disgorgement with dosage liqueur vinified in barrels.
The wine seems to unfold: mouth-watering acidity and creamy effervescence harmoniously give birth to a silky texture. This full-bodied wine displays enough character to enhance the perfect balance of this opulent material, lingering on âbiscuity â woodenâ base notes. The finish is crisp and highly mouth-watering. The wine ends its journey on a sharp and salty note.
