VINTAGE CONDITIONS

Slightly warmer growing season than the long-term average. Smaller yields provided exceptional fruit concentration and natural acidity. The near-perfect conditions at harvest saw traditional picking dates for both varieties in mid to late March.

NOSE

An elegant and complex bouquet of baked apples and strawberry interwoven with brioche and an almond nuttiness.

PALATE

A complex sparkling from an excellent vintage. Twelve years on yeast less, zero dosage, a wine reflecting the vintage and the complexities of over a decade of yeast autolysis. The wine is still remarkably fresh with crunchy acidity with a wonderfully fine bead and creamy mousse. Honey, cashew and apple pie complement the layers of complexity on the palate.
