This brilliant and clear wine greets the eye with a straw-yellow hue streaked with green. Its lively effervescence keeps a persistent circle of tiny bubbles in glass. Roy Soleil’s delicate, elegant nose opens with preserved citrus and apricot aromas as well as notes of gingerbread. This cuvée has a mouth-filling attack exploding with ripe tangerine and grapefruit flavours offering a lingering and lush finish.
A brilliant and crystalline wine. Its effervescence is steady and vivacious. Strings of tiny bubbles rise to the surface, nurturing a persistent and creamy cordon of foam. Its aromatic bouquet is complex: smoky, grilled, nutty (hazelnut and cashew) and candied, all underlined by a touch of acacia honey. Its fleshy and welcoming palate greets you with an elegant vanilla warmth and a buttery touch then opens up to dried fruit and candied citrus (lemon, grapefruit) notes. Its fatty, supple beginning paves the way for a vivaciously mineral and wonderfully lasting finish.

Brut 7g/L.
