The blend unites different microclimates with the goal of expressing the richness of the terroir of origin. This territorial signature imparts great precision to the taste profile and a crisp freshness, well balanced by a broad and regular body. The careful integration of the grapes into the blend defines a recognizable style and absolute technical purity.How it is madeThe winemaking process involves a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier orchestrated with the Traditional Method. An essential component comes from a perpetual reserve from several vintages, combined with reserve wines aged in wooden barrels. This technique provides substantial structural support to the cuvée. Malolactic fermentation is carried out partially to preserve the vibrant taste profile. The final dosage creates a precise balance between finesse and overall fullness.Tasting notesOn sight, it displays a golden yellow hue and features lively effervescence.
