Pale straw gold with a very fine bead. Almond, white peach, lime and grapefruit lead the nose, followed by redcurrant, raspberry and sour cherry, then a touch of pineapple as it opens. The palate is lively and low-dosage, combining citrus, toasted bread and ripe orchard fruit with a broad, chalky texture. Saline freshness drives a clean, mouthwatering finish.

Copper-rose in colour, with fine bubbles and a vivid nose of redcurrant, sour cherry, wild strawberry and violet. A discreet lemon note brings lift. The palate is lively and chalky, capturing ripe red fruit without heaviness, then narrowing into a fresh, refined and gently saline finish. Excellent with sushi, cured ham or roast poultry.

Ripe citrus peel, green apple and pear meet gingerbread, toasted brioche, candied fruit and a gentle nutty note. The palate is ample and softly textured, yet a firm mineral line and lively acidity preserve clarity. Fine bubbles carry citrus and orchard fruit through a long, clean finish. Serve with roast scallops, aged Comté or poultry.
