Red apple and ripe pear lead with Meyer lemon, yellow fruit and a delicate rose note. The palate is precise and vinous, its fine bead carrying fresh citrus over a firm mineral line. Toast, almond paste, vanilla and pastry add mature richness to the balanced, persistent finish.

White flowers, lemongrass and white stone fruit open with a mature, quietly savoury edge. Fine, chiselled bubbles carry the palate, where freshness balances gentle notes of woodland and fresh mushroom. The texture is composed and persistent rather than showy, finishing clean and dry. Serve with roast poultry, mushroom dishes, scallops or aged Comté.
