The appearance of this wine is bright, straw-yellow with a fine and persistent pérlage. On the nose, its bouquet reveals shades of citrus, white peach, and crème anglaise, with subtle hazelnut notes in the background. The palate is rich and creamy, with vibrant, soft bubbles and a refined, lingering finish.
