NV Sylvain Bruneau Blanc 2 Noir
Tasting Notes
A pale golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is fresh and lively, offering aromas of green apple, pear, and grapes, complemented by floral notes of elderflower and a hint of brioche. On the palate, this Pet Nat is crisp and refreshing, with bright citrus flavors and a subtle minerality. The natural effervescence adds a delightful texture, leading to a clean, fresh finish.
