Brilliant pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles and a compact, elegant mousse. A captivating, Meunier-driven nose offering ripe pear, golden apple, and mirabelle plum. Subtle notes of brioche, toasted grain, and warm pastry from lees aging. Touches of white pepper, dried flowers, and flinty minerality. Hints of citrus oil, almond skin, and delicate honey. The palate is focused, dry, and energetic, crisp orchard fruit layered with citrus tension. A supple mid-palate showing hints of baked apple, quince, and crushed chalk. Bright, vertical acidity balanced by Meunier’s natural roundness. Extra-Brut dryness sharpening the finish and highlighting purity. Long, saline, mineral-etched ending with subtle nuttiness and light herbal lift
