Sensory profile The wine boasts a rich appearance, thanks to a delicate yet dense mousse and to its long-lingering crown, which appears a shimmering straw yellow shot through with gold. The nose opens slowly to a lovely yeastiness and notes of toasted nuts, soon crystallizing into roasted peanuts, liquorice root-like impressions of strawflower, and fresh-baked bread, which segue in turn into vanilla, coriander, and short crust. An overall impression of earthy mineral comes to the fore as the complex, multifaceted bouquet continues to linger in the glass. In the mouth, one perceives the subtle effervescence as a lovely, fluent suppleness. Its minerally acidity makes a decisive contribution on the palate, while the combination of yeastiness and significant body ensures a well-knit complexity and impressive length. The aromatic component is rich and cleanly-delineated, offering impressions of dried fruit and wild berry, lifted by a subtle astringency. A classic-method Brut Nature superb in all its components; still youthful, it will enjoy a long life.

Pairings It will be at its best with antipasti, in particular shellfish and raw fish, but it partners as well with a full range of sausages and with all vegetarian dishes.
