Appearance: pinky orange
Aroma: notes of strawberry, light red fruits, tangerine, and grapefruit. some smoky minerality.
Palate: full with purity and elegance. smooth crispy effervescence. fine fruit forward. it also shows bright acidity.

Based on 2008 vintage and disgorged in April 2013. Feminine in style with minor touch of sweetness in the background. Enjoy the round volume of this non vintage structure. It is superb as aperitif and to go with fruity based dessert.
