Organic
Tasting Notes
Intense straw yellow, with pink-gold highlights. Its nose is a generous, wide-ranging bouquet of fragrant apricot, melon, and orange peel. On the palate, it is notable for crisp acidity, firm structure, and clean-edged contours, with vibrant minerality that gives length, balance, and aging potential.
Cultivation
Began in Mid-August.
Vinification
Only the finest free-run must, drawn from a slow, gentle pressing, ferments in stainless steel. The best lots are then selected for oak, where they mature for six months on the lees.
Aging
The cuvée is assembled in the spring following harvest from the finest base wines, all drawn exclusively from a single growing season. The wine then undergoes bottle fermentation and matures on the lees for a minimum of 10 years, followed by an additional six months of rest after disgorgement.
