Methode Traditionelle' with 18 months on lees, a dry style with an intense nose of wild strawberries, and zesty citrus peel. The palate has a toasty brioche character, fine bead and a long finish.

The beautiful blush tinge is due to the pinot noir and pinot meunier skin contact, it tastes just as fabulous as it looks.

Enjoy with smoked salmon, caviar and friends.
