Sensory analysis

The colour is a deep gold with silvery highlights and a fine effervescence. The nose reveals clear aromas of Reinette apple and pear, complemented by hints of pineapple, lemon and delicate spices such as star anise. Aeration also releases menthol and toasted notes.

On the palate, the texture is pulpy and juicy, supported by a balanced citrus acidity. The tension is lively, the bubbles creamy and mellow, giving an impression of volume. The finish is distinguished by its elegance: it is slender and refreshing, carried by a subtle menthol and citrus zest note.
