Aroma: Expect notes of dried and white fruits, citrus, and floral hints from citrus trees.
Flavor profile: The taste is powerful and refined, with rich fruitiness balanced by mineral notes and fresh acidity. It offers a salty, persistent finish.
Blend: It is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, with the grapes co-fermented to achieve cohesion.
Vinification: Fermentation happens spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and the wine is aged in oak casks. It undergoes malolactic fermentation and is not fined.
Dosage: As a Brut Nature, it has zero dosage, meaning no sugar was added after disgorgement.

Fish and poultry: It pairs well with fish, poultry, and white meats.
Cheeses: The wine's acidity and bubbles can cleanse the palate between bites of various cheeses.
Other pairings: It is also excellent with appetizers, pâtés, and cured meats like jamón ibérico.
