Bright, clear light yellow color with wonderfully fine bubbles. Fresh, delicate nose with impressions of white and yellow stone fruits typical of Chenin. Dry, lively start with a finesse that many Champagnes would envy. Refined hints of fruit and blossom are complemented by a tight and dry mouthfeel. Excellent as an aperitif!
Flavorful and dry aperitif. Delicious with various tapas, oysters, or other shellfish.
