AFFINITY
BRUT
"The classic style of excellence from our house."
“AFFINITY” is the result of a subtle marriage of three grape varieties, pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay, typical of our AOP Champagne. The wines used for this vintage are all from the first press. They are vinified in the traditional way, partly in wood, without malolactic fermentation. They are then blended with part of our SOLERA perpetual reserve, which brings a subtle complexity to AFFINITY and gives it subtle fruity aromas with a beautiful freshness and vinosity on the palate.

TO THE EYE: clear light gold color with very fine bubbles.
ON THE NOSE: citrus fruit, floral and delicate, it unfurls with subtle notes of white flowers and fresh bread, then evolves towards more mineral variations.
ON THE PALATE: supple and fresh, it offers a smooth mousse. Elegant fruity and softly acidic, the finish is a more tactile sensation with both the suppleness of the clays and the minerality of the chalk.
