Disgorged in October 2020. White gold to gold. Fine, relatively fast rising bubbles. Restrained nose with yellow fruit hints and toast. Discernible malolactic fermentation. Slightly creamy in the mouth, with fine mousseux. Elegant and unpretentious, rather a representative of quiet tones. Very long.

Disgorged in August 2020. Straw to golden yellow. Extremely fine perlage. Clear autolysis with complex aromas of toast, soy sauce, iodine and dried plum. Noticeable malolactic fermentation of the base wine. Good mousseux, very complex with the well interwoven aromas already perceptible in the nose. Excellent length. A little sweet cherry on the finish.
