Produced in the traditional bottle-fermented method, the wine is made from classic Champagne varieties and matured on the lees for approximately 18 months to build texture and complexity. Gentle whole-bunch pressing and the use of only the finest cuvée contribute to the wine’s precision and finesse, while the estate’s strong sustainability focus adds another layer of purpose to the winemaking philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"1374\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1562\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1492\" data-end=\"1495\"\u003eBright pale gold with a fine, persistent mousse and energetic bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1562\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003eFresh aromas of lemon zest, pear and green apple lead the nose, followed by crushed almonds, biscuit and subtle brioche notes from lees ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1997\"\u003ePalate:\u003cbr data-start=\"1732\" data-end=\"1735\"\u003eDry and creamy in texture, the palate combines crisp citrus and orchard fruit with savoury biscuit character and delicate nuttiness.
