Production Details Spontaneous fermentation took place in oak barrels, followed by approximately 10 months of maturation before bottling and at least 40 months on lees. The wine was made without fining or filtration and without added sulfites. Merchant listings expose different 2020 disgorgement lots—February 2025 at GLUGULP and April 2025 at La Cave des Papilles—so no vintage-wide disgorgement date is proposed.
Tasting Notes Candied lemon, green apple, white flowers, fresh almond, chalk, wet stone and fine herbs; taut, vertical and saline, with a creamy but precise texture and vibrant acidity

Tasting Notes Wine Advocate, April 2020: yellow orchard fruit, preserved citrus, fresh peach and marzipan; full-bodied, deep and seamless, with energetic acidity and a generous fruit core
