Tasting Notes: The ripe grapes are picked on fruit and flower days, whenever possible, only by women to maintain their fertile energy. All viticulture is geared towards producing a peaceful, symbiotic balance between all living entities. Vinification takes place in a combination of amphoras and enameled tanks to preserve the juice as good as possible. Only indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation and malolactic fermentation occurs naturally. Minimal or no Sulphur is added. The wines are disgorged 22 months after harvest.
Earth represents the maternal element, solid and stable. It embodies structure, dry extract, minerality.
Tasting Note: A beautiful delicate champagne with a very fine perlage and a soft velvety finish. Good acidity and minerality with a hint of citrus, caramel and figs.
