Sensory Description
This luminous pale straw Champagne, with glints of lemon yellow, reveals a fine and persistent mousse. The nose opens with delicate notes of apricot, honeysuckle, and grapefruit, layered with aromas of sea salt, chalk, and smoky star anise. The palate is vibrant and fresh, delivering luscious flavors of exotic fruits and citrus, balanced by a creamy effervescence. A chalky minerality and sea-breeze salinity lend precision and length, culminating in a clean, airy finish that lingers beautifully.
