Production Details Its stated six years on fine lees conflicts with its own August 2020 bottling and June 2025 disgorgement dates. German distributor SKU 14G281A019C00 describes a different 2019 release specification: five years on lees, disgorged October 2024, with 12.5% alcohol, 6.8 g/L acidity and 5.4 g/L residual sugar. These release-level differences remain unresolved and have not been combined into a settled specification.
Tasting Notes Taut and refined; fresh herbs, caramelised apricot, hazelnut and spice; creamy mousse, brisk freshness, and a long dry finish with a pithy edge.
Food Pairing Suckling pig, wood-oven-roasted kid goat, and cod

Production Details Hand-picked, Guyot-trained vines aged 30–60 years, planted at 2,500 vines/ha and situated at 80–100 m. The wine was made by the traditional method; the producer states six years on fine lees, but the listed July 2019 bottling and October 2024 disgorgement span about five years and three months, so the precise duration is unresolved.
Tasting Notes Refined and complex; apricot and honeysuckle, toasted hazelnut, spice and a subtle curry nuance; polished, crisp and persistent.
