👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with a fine, persistent mousse—radiant and refined.

👃 On the Nose:
Delicate and complex with ultra-concentrated aromas of citrus zest and white currant, layered with notes of fresh bread, baked walnut, and a touch of sea breeze minerality. A beautifully poised bouquet.

👅 On the Palate:
Vibrant and textural with flavours of soft baked apple and zesty lemon, held in place by taut acidity and a steely mineral backbone. The autolytic richness of lees ageing brings creamy depth, while subtle nutty notes from cork ageing add sophistication to the long, harmonious finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with oysters, smoked salmon, triple cream cheeses, or lemony roast chicken. A wine with the balance and complexity to elevate both fine fare and delicate dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Elegant now, yet built to evolve—will develop beautifully over the next 5–8 years, gaining more depth and complexity.

Artelium’s thoughtful approach creates a sparkling wine that evolves with each vintage while maintaining a core of finesse, freshness, and expressive detail. A true collector’s cuvée.
