Tasting Notes & Experience
Brilliant pale yellow with almond and jade reflections, this Blanc de Blancs opens with aromas of lemon zest, pear and white peach. Hints of white flowers, ginger and pink peppercorn add lift and complexity. On the palate, tension meets roundness in a creamy, citrus-laced texture. The finish is delicate, fresh and long, with lingering mineral elegance.
