This wine shows aromas of brioche, green apple, lemon curd, acacia flowers and apricot. The same medley of toast, fruit and floral notes carries onto the palate. This is a dry traditional method sparkling wine that has approachable bubbles with a creamy mouth filling texture and great harmony of yeasty notes, fruit character and freshness.
