Description (detail)
The nose is enchanted by floral scents of white lily and magnolia. This is followed by southern hints of candied orange zest, sweet lime and vineyard peach, some almond cookies and caramel. A soft, full-bodied, finely sparkling mousse envelops the palate. The juicy acidity is accompanied by almond cookies, vanilla crescents and ripe red-cheeked apples and juicy peaches. An exciting tartness reminiscent of olives and mountain herbs resonates.

Traditional champagne method
The sparkling basics of champagne
The unique, typical champagne flavour is largely due to the time-consuming méthode champenoise. The bottle fermentation method is copied all over the world, for example in South Africa as "Cap Classique", and Swiss sparkling wines, especially the more expensive ones, are also produced using the traditional bottle fermentation method.

The minimum ageing period for entry-level champagnes in the lower price range is 9 months. Premium champagnes mature much longer on their lees, for example the minimum prescribed maturation period for vintage champagnes is 36 months - and often goes far beyond this: 5 to 7 years of maturation are not uncommon for vintage champagnes from top producers.
