Produced using the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, it reveals a pale straw colour in the glass, animated by a dense and persistent perlage. On the nose, it is fresh, dominated by clear aromas of pear and white peach. The palate is inviting, combining notes of ripe fruit and citrus with a lively freshness. The dry finish, typical of \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Brut\u003c\/strong\u003e, lingers on delicate \u003cstrong\u003eliquorice\u003c\/strong\u003e and dried fruit notes.

The rows of vines are sheltered by the Montagne de Reims and benefit from a climate that blends continental and oceanic influences, encouraging the development of high \u003cstrong\u003enatural acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e in the grapes.
