TASTING NOTES
Light yellow with green reflections and fine, glittering pearl beads; the nose offers aromas of melon, sweet woodruff and dried mango, with minerals and hints of nuts. The soft mousseux leaves a pleasant feeling on the palate, accompanied by a racy, powerful body and crisp, lemony acidity that brings freshness to this Crémant. With time in the glass, it opens further to a complex sparkling brut, finishing with a long aftertaste. Meticulous care is taken in the vineyards — avoiding chemical fertilizers and pesticides, limiting yields, harvesting by hand — to enhance the distinctive aromatic and flavor profile found in each Sparr wine. -Winemaker's Notes
