Production Details The producer describes this non-vintage cuvée as inspired by a solera method, incorporating at least 45% of a perpetual reserve begun in 1988, with dosage of 6–7 g/L. For the base-2020 release, Leon & Son reports élevage on fine lees in stainless steel, oak cask and concrete followed by at least 24 months sur lattes, while Cuenllas reports at least 36 months of lees aging before disgorgement. The differing lower bounds are retained by source and not converted to an exact day count.
Tasting Notes Floral and fruity; almond, fresh bread and citrus; white fruits, fresh walnut and creamy notes; persistent grapefruit, mandarin and mineral finish with freshness and elegance
