The tasting narrated through this Classique Brut NV AOC reveals a fine perlage, a lively freshness, notes of citrus and yeast, a good sapidity that supports the aftertaste, and a clean palate that invites the next sip, offering the consumer a continuous experience of balance and understated elegance, in line with the STELT positioning.
