There's a lovely golden yellow hue. Persistent lively bubbles. Bouquet of yellow fruits (nectarine) and ripe, concentrated citrus (lemon) complemented by sweet notes of petals, pollen, sugared almonds and wheat. The palate is velvety; unctuous, rich and juicy. The bubbles have an almost saline character to them and coat the palate with a broad and concentrated texture. The wine reveals an exceptional balance between structure and a crisp. powdery, saline chalky freshness. Smoky and slightly oaky notes linger on a deliciously well-honed finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom equal parts of their estate vineyards la Rivière, la Montagne and la Côte. 41% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 24% Meunier.
