- TASTING NOTE: Aromas of apples, citrus zest, fresh bread and white flowers plume from the glass. This beautiful Crémant shows plenty of freshness and tension with notes of just-ripe red berries to compliment the citrus and orchard fruit flavors as well as a saline mineral core. The bubbles are tiny and firm on the palate which add to the wine's excellent balance and incredible purity and length.
- ABOUT THE WINE: A sparkling wine made in the traditional method, is a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 20% Gamay, and 10% Aligoté. It is aged for 12 months on the lees and is a blend of at least two vintages, with 20% of the blend coming from reserve wines.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Domaine Agnes Paquet is recognized locally as a leading innovator of the current generation. The estate boasts vineyards in Cotes de Beaune and Hautes Cotes de Beaune across appellations such as Bourgogne Aligoté, Bourgogne Chardonnay, Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Hautes Cotes de Beaune white and red, Auxey-Duresses (currently 5 ha or 40% of the domain), Pommard, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Saint Aubin. Agnes Paquet is keenly aware of terroir nuances and maintains a traditional approach in her vineyards. Since 2004, chemical herbicides have been eliminated, with treatments now using copper and sulphur. The estate has been certified organic since 2019. The harvest is also done by hand, with sorting done both in the field and at the winery. Fermentations are initiated solely by natural yeasts, with minimal SO2 usage, and chaptalization is seldom necessary.
