It has a pale yellow color with greenish reflections.
On the nose, it is rich and intense.
On the palate, it is very full-bodied, with a pleasant smoothness, supported by a fine and persistent perlage.
A high-class aperitif, it also pairs perfectly with delicate fish dishes.

THE GRAPES, SELECTED FOR RIPENESS AND ACIDITY, ARE GENTLY PRESSED AND FERMENTED IN STAINLESS STEEL TANKS AT A CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 15 AND 18°C. THE RESULTING BASE WINE IS THEN SUBJECTED TO A SECOND FERMENTATION USING THE CLASSIC METHOD: AFTER THE ADDITION OF SELECTED YEASTS AND SUGARS, THE SECOND FERMENTATION TAKES PLACE DIRECTLY IN THE BOTTLE. DURING THIS PHASE, THE WINE MATURES IN CONTACT WITH THE LEES, DEVELOPING AROMATIC COMPLEXITY AND FINESSE.
AT THE END OF THE MATURATION PERIOD, REMUAGE AND DISGORGEMENT OPERATIONS ARE CARRIED OUT TO REMOVE THE SPENT YEASTS. THE WINE IS FINALLY BOTTLED WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF DOSAGE, IN PERFECT ACCORDANCE WITH THE PAS DOSÉ STYLE.
THE WINE IS BEST STORED IN DARK AND DRY PLACES AT A TEMPERATURE OF 10-14°C.
