The wine rested on its lees in bottle for 15 months. It was then disgorged three months before launch.

Producer's Tasting Notes
Colour: Pale and limpid yellow, delicate, nice, dancing and persistent bubbles.
Nose: Intense and refined, honey and acacia aromas join subtle hints of crystallised citrus fruits.
Palate: Wonderful harmony, very good balance of sugar and acidity. Fruits remain on the persistent yet delicate finish.
