With more volume in the bottle, the wine has extra time to settle before it is opened, and that shows in how it presents itself, as the usual bright, fruit driven character feels slightly more composed, with fewer sharp edges and a more even progression across the palate. The identity is still built around Pinot Noir, and the red fruit remains the defining feature, but instead of arriving in a quick, expressive burst, the raspberry and strawberry notes develop more gradually, giving a smoother and more controlled impression from the start. As it opens up, the citrus element becomes more apparent, adding lift and keeping the wine from feeling too soft, but it does so in a way that feels integrated rather than separate, supporting the fruit instead of cutting through it.
There is also a subtle shift in how the wine fills the palate. It feels a little broader through the middle, not heavier, but more continuous, with fewer gaps between the different stages of tasting. The usual light floral and delicate pastry notes sit quietly in the background, contributing to the overall feel without standing out on their own. The texture benefits from this format as well, with finer bubbles and a smoother, more even spread, which makes the wine feel more polished while still keeping its light and elegant character. Overall, it retains its clarity and freshness, but presents them in a more relaxed and integrated way, where everything feels slightly more aligned and complete.
