"Bright, fresh and elegant, the bouquet shows raspberry, strawberry, peach and floral aromas on the nose, followed by a finely textured palate that is delicately fruited and lingering with crisp acidity. Restrained and charming with lovely poise and persistency" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

This wine displays delicate yet persistant bubbles. The nose discloses attractive aromas of redcurrant and blackcurrant buds. The palate offers refreshing notes of grapefruit and spice.

The grapes used to produce this wine are grown in Luberon (Vaucluse region). A blend of Syrah, Grenache & Cinsault.

Upon reception of the harvest, skin maceration is carried out followed by pressing in order to extract the maximum aromatic intensity from the fruit. After 24 hours, the juices are settled and fermentation takes place at 14-18°C. The second fermentation, which creates the sparkle, takes place in temperature controlled vats. The wine is then aged on fine lees for 7 to 8 months in order to ensure an intense expression of the varietals.

Food Pairing: Enjoy served as an apéritif or alongside Mediterranean fish dishes.
