On the nose, Pinot Noir reveals itself with magnetic depth: ripe red fruits, notes of undergrowth, chalk, and an almost ferrous minerality. With oxygenation, nuances of dried fruit and noble spices emerge. On the palate, it's an experience of pure energy; the bubbles are integrated into a dense, vinous body, supported by a vibrant freshness that culminates in an endless and savory finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduction Philosophy\u003c\/b\u003e Every action in the cellar was for years manual and meticulous.
