At 3 litres, this format gives the wine just enough extra time to settle without losing the natural brightness that defines it, so the result feels slightly more composed than the standard bottle, while still keeping that light, lifted character intact. Chardonnay remains at the centre of the profile, bringing citrus and green apple forward, but in this format those flavours feel less immediate, unfolding more gradually and giving the wine a softer, more measured opening rather than a quick burst of freshness.
As it moves across the palate, the wine feels more connected, with fewer clear transitions between stages, so instead of a defined progression, everything flows together in a smoother and more continuous way. The subtle pastry and almond notes that sit behind the fruit are still present, but they are more integrated, blending into the wine rather than appearing separately, which adds depth without interrupting the overall balance. Texture is refined, with fine bubbles and a more even spread across the palate, giving a slightly smoother and more polished feel while maintaining the wine’s lightness. Overall, this format keeps the same elegant and approachable style, but presents it in a more relaxed and cohesive way, where freshness, fruit, and texture are more evenly aligned.
