In magnum, this wine takes on a slightly calmer and more composed expression, as the additional time in bottle allows the different elements to settle together, so instead of feeling immediately bright and lifted, it opens in a more measured and gradual way. Chardonnay defines everything here, and that comes through clearly in the profile, with citrus, white peach, and a softer pear note forming the core, but in this format those flavours feel more integrated, appearing as a continuous flow rather than distinct stages.
As the wine develops in the glass, the fruit begins to widen gently, and a subtle layer of pastry, almond, and light floral notes emerges, adding depth without changing the overall direction, which remains centred on freshness and clarity. There is a natural sense of lift running through the wine, but it does not stand out sharply. Instead, it supports the profile from underneath, allowing the wine to move smoothly across the palate. The texture is particularly refined, with very fine bubbles and a slightly broader feel through the middle, giving a more polished and complete impression while maintaining the wine’s light and elegant character. Overall, this format highlights the balance and finesse of the cuvee, where freshness, fruit, and subtle development are aligned in a smooth and cohesive way.
