Tasting note
Long-lasting fizz. Matt yellow hue. Wonderfully fruity aroma with notes of peach nectar, dates and figs. Full-bodied mousseux; juicy and elegant. Flavours of pear and apple sauce with lemon wedges. Lively acidity; delicate fruit sweetness. Lean but powerful. A wonderfully refreshing summer drink. The apple-lemon play lingers on. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
