Production Details Current producer-catalogue specification: the base wine is aged 90% in thermoregulated stainless-steel vats and 10% in oak barrels for 6 months; reserve wines constitute 15%; maturation in bottle before disgorgement lasts 18–20 months; dosage is listed as 5–8 g/L; recommended serving temperature is 8–10°C. An earlier producer sheet and the Albert Bichot USA technical sheet instead specify dosage at 7 g/L, so no single exact dosage is proposed.
Tasting Notes Fine, even bubbles; citrus aromas of lime and pink grapefruit; white flowers; fresh, vivacious and full-bodied palate; precise, with notable length
Food Pairing Aperitif; finely prepared fish and seafood
