Bacquaert Brut

• Light yellow robe, brilliant with a low viscosity
• First a fine citrus note with riper stone fruit hints. Then the autolysis aromas support the complexity. 
• Fresh sparkling wine which is supported by a fine lasting acidity
• Low dosage and a touch of bitter in the finale
   

Méthode Traditionnelle and 30 months ‘sur lattes’, 35% of reserve wine aged in French and American oak.

Soil: sand-loam with Diestian sand, ironstone, flint stones and gravel. Underneath this, well-drained layers of Ledian and Paniselian sand
