Production Details The Les Rouleaux parcel was planted in 1981. Vindirekt describes bottling in October 2016 and a cork change in July 2022. Because the 2022 cork-change context and March 2025 disgorgement describe distinguishable release histories, dosage and disgorgement are retained here rather than generalized into vintage-wide canonical values.
Tasting Notes Lemon, grapefruit, ripe pear, apple skin, white flowers, brioche, hazelnut, wood and limestone; energetic and light, with fine wood character, mineral texture, lively acidity and a saline, precise finish
Food Pairing Aperitif; seafood; grilled or fried fish; sushi; intensely flavored Asian dishes; poultry; mushrooms; roasted vegetables; tarts and quiches; soft, washed-rind or hard cheese
