Tasting notes
Crafted from a biodynamic blend of Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Chardonnay, this artisanal sparkling wine is a remarkable alternative to Champagne. Fermented in both tank and oak, then aged 18 months on lees with no dosage, it delivers a spine-tingling freshness and racy mineral character.
On the palate, it’s salty and taut, yet unfolds with layers of pear, golden apple, and almond, striking a beautiful balance between tension and texture. This is lo-fi French sparkling at its best—vibrant, complex, and utterly delicious.
