The 2016
growing season

The year 2016 was challenging: a cold, rainy spring led to mildew issues, and late frosts caused significant damage in certain areas.

August and September, however, brought exceptionally favorable weather, allowing the grapes to ripen well. Harvest revealed significant differences in yields between parcels, but the grapes collected were of good quality. Despite numerous climatic challenges, the 2016 vintage produced high-quality grapes, albeit with below-average yields.

Tasting notes

Appearance Bright yellow colour with fine, lively effervescence.
Nose Delicate aromas of gingerbread, finesse and freshness, vanilla and quince compote.
Palate Dynamic and vibrant on the palate, with tension, citrus notes, lime, gooseberry and saline minerality.
