ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
A Brut with mouthwatering acidity and graceful levity from 100% Ugni Blanc this wine is grown on the calcareous soils between Angers and Tours. On the nose, the wine is dominated by green apple and melon, plus citrus, apple, and bready notes on the palate. A pale yellow color and steady stream of fine bubbles. The nose has aromas of crisp green apple and melon. On the palate you will find flavors of citrus and apple with a light bready flavor. The crisp acidity and sparkle create a light weight wine very well balanced.
