Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Blanc de blancs means simply white-from-whites, and almost every example in the world is Chardonnay — this one is Marsanne, which makes it something close to unique. The estate sits on what is believed to be the largest old Marsanne holding on earth, so using it for a sparkling wine is less eccentric than it first appears. Honeysuckle and white peach with citrus, almond and a light bready note, on a fine bead. Medium-bodied and dry, with the variety's characteristic waxy texture giving it more weight than a Chardonnay sparkling would have.
