Silver Medal: Decanter Wine Awards

90 Points Wine Enthusiast:

"Light golden color with fine and elegant bubbles. The nose opens on notes of dried fruit, hazelnut and candied lemon. A light toasted and grilled hint sublimates the wine. The attack is ample and generous with a beautiful evolution. Beautiful aromatic persistence with notes of toasted bread, brioche, dried fruit and candied fruit."

Tasting Notes: The Cuvée Excellence offers a light yellow color with subtle green highlights. The first nose expresses aromas of fermentation and bread dough, the result of slow resting on slats. The second nose reveals aromas of toasted almonds, dried fruits, and exotic fruits. The palate is initially seduced by the smoothness of the fine bubbles, which are released regularly, giving way to a broad and varied aromatic palette. We then appreciate a fleshy and expressive wine, to the delight of the taste buds. The palate confirms and amplifies the promises made by the nose.

Vinification: Pressing. Settling. Controlled fermentation at low temperature (18°). Production according to the Traditional Method of second fermentation in the bottle after selection of the best wines. Minimum 18 months of aging on slats before disgorging.
