Long alcoholic fermentation (around a month) at low temperature (15°) in thermoregulated stainless steel vats. Traditional method. Aging : between 18 and 24 months on the lees Notes: The texture of the sparkling wines of Champagne, the aromatic freshness of the altitude areas of the South of France. Lemon, ripe apple, wild red fruits, herbal, hawthorn and broom mixed with toasted autolyse revealing notes of toasted almond. A fair dosage provides the necessary density to balance the natural salinity of the wine? The acidity integrates well into the texture of the wine and supports the creamy texture of the mousse. Changing the serving temperature will give a more gastronomic dimension to this multifaceted wine.
