Tasting Notes
Aroma
Bouquet of yellow fruits (nectarine) and ripe, concentrated
citrus (lemon) complemented by sweet notes of petals,
pollen, sugared almonds and wheat. We find an impressively
ripe, complex and intense fruit which elevates the pure
and intense bouquet interwoven with smoky overtones.
Appearance
Lovely golden yellow hue.
Palate
The palate is velvety, unctuous, rich and juicy. The bubbles
have an almost saline character to them and coat the
palate with a broad and concentrated texture. The wine
reveals an exceptional balance between structure and a
crisp, powdery, saline chalky freshness. Smoky and slightly
oaky notes linger on a deliciously well-honed finish.
Vintage Notes
The year 2020 followed a similar trajectory to that of
2019 with a mild and rainy winter followed by a dry
summer with several heatwaves which, although less
extreme than in 2019, still had an impact on the vine.
Fortunately, the weather was rather dull and a bit wet in
June which gave us a welcome humid interlude between
two dry spells. Despite our impressions of relentless heat
and sunshine, the temperatures and sunshine levels over
the 2020 harvest period were actually relatively normal.
These continental conditions, but with “normal” annual
averages, enabled the production of mature and well-
balanced wines!
The harvests took place between 22 August and 11
September 2020.
