Nose Dive into a vibrant bouquet bursting with citrusy notes of grapefruit and lemon, followed by delicate floral whispers of jasmine and honeysuckle. Hints of freshly baked brioche and toasted almonds add a touch of richness and complexity.
Palate This Extra Brut explodes on the palate with a crisp and refreshing acidity balanced by the elegant minerality of the Grand Cru vineyards. Notes of crisp apple and pear mingle with subtle hints of pear skin and toasted nuts, leading to a long, lingering finish that lingers on the tongue like a whisper of honeyed brioche.
