A blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir partially matured for six months in barriques and bottled in June 2013 to then sit in the lees for 66 months (disgorged in December 2018) with 50,000 bottles produced. An intense straw color with golden hues and a subtle effervescence. The aromas are of linden flower, fresh grapefruit and crispy stark apple, tangerines, sage and marjoram. The attack of the mouthfeel has an interesting complexity with notes of hazelnut and candied citrus fruit and it becomes bold and rich towards the finish while maintaining its tension, fragrance and character.
