Notes from the Producer: A traditional method with big identity and a well defined Atlantic character. The mousse is very steady and the delicate bubbles are equal and moderately generous. It has a fine nose which combines white blossom and peary aromas, subtile hints of aniseed and smoky flavors. The taste is vibrant with a nice harmony between lemony and salty (iode) flavors. It balances perfectly in the mouth with a certain buttery creaminess and a crispy, mineral finish. This is an elegant wine with freshness, strength, minerality and a mellow fruitiness.
It would be an excellent aperitif but also in combination with shellfish and seafood as natural as possible it would do the job!
