Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and crisp
The bubbles are fairly fine, but not very long-lasting.
The nose is open, revealing notes of pomelo, white peach and elderberry, with a hint of citrus.
On the palate, the attack is crisp, marked by a bubble that bursts quickly.
The wine's character is marked by citrus fruit and white flowers.
The finish is spicy and taut, with citrus aromas and a marked minerality.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Do you know ?
Ageing on laths is a vinification technique specific to sparkling wines. The wine, laid horizontally on laths, undergoes a second fermentation after the addition of sugar.

De bien bonnes bouteilles élaborées par un professionnel de qualité sur un beau terroir. Je recommande mais à boire avec modération, bien entendu.
