(100% Chardonnay, dosage 6 gr/l)
Yellow colour with a stream of bubbles in the glass and with a pleasant nose showing roasted coffee notes, almond and fresh baked bread. Palate is filled with austere grapefruit acidity filled with minerals hiding the fruitiness still on the lengthy finish. Opens up in the glass and fades out a bit quicker than I expected, but still drinking very nicely.
