One to let warm up in the glass. Rich and creamy, nice brioche and wonderful bubbles. Fresh and balanced. A perfect way to celebrate small (or large) victories!
Happy VE Day!🇫🇷

- bread doughy-ness
- rich and full flavor, steel and metallic taste due to minerality
- smells like cheese
- soft integration of taste, more integrated
- no bubbles
- long time (10yr) in the bottle with the yeast
