Tasting Notes
-
The color is light straw yellow, the perlage is lively, persistent and subtle. The bouquet is as elegant as the scents of wildflowers. It is agreeably fruity with scents of apple, pears and peaches. The flavor is sapid, full and balanced with a contained graciousness and accompanied by an intense and elegant fruitiness.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve at a temperature of 8˚C (46˚F) in a large crystal goblet. This great sparkling wine is best appreciated outside meals, when it offers the palate its noble and infinitely faceted personality. It makes an excellent accompaniment for dry pastries and refined desserts like strawberry mousse.
