The Blanc de Blanc, a 100% Chardonnay is aged for upto five years. A lot of emphasis is put on the ageing of this wine in order to develop a fine complement of the palate of rich citrus flavours with the complexity of yeast and brioche aromas which helps enhance the long finish. The wine has a luminous and beautiful pale golden color along with a persistent release of bubbles. On the nose, at first there are powerful fresh fruit notes with notably ripe citrus fruits. With a second nose, there is a pleasant note of white flowers and peach. It has a long and refreshing finish with a pleasant mineral quality.
