The Fine Traditional-Method Sparkler
Full-bodied, complex, and built on autolysis.
What it is
Bottle-fermented sparkling wine with a fine, persistent bead and the toasty, brioche-like depth that only extended lees ageing delivers. Racy acidity keeps it precise from first sip to long finish. This is the benchmark style for the table and the aperitif alike.
