Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Luminous lemon yellow with distinctly shimmering green highlights. The perlage rises in the glass with exceptional fineness, consistency and elegant structure.
Nose
A deep, captivating autolytic profile defines the first impression. Delicate notes of slivered almonds and a touch of shortbread blend with a Mediterranean herbal bouquet of thyme, sage and marjoram. Behind this, a fascinating maritime vein reveals itself, brimming with oyster shell, sea spray and fresh seaweeds, underpinned by a taut, austere chalky note.
Palate
On the palate, this sparkling wine presents itself with immense focus and a prevailing stony clarity. The chiseled texture meets a succulent, brilliant freshness of lemon zest, lime juice and nuances of mirabelle plum. The vibrant energy and the herbal salinity intertwine tangibly, without ever appearing harsh.
Finish
The finish is poised and serene, shining with enormous inner tension. The textured, maritime minerality lingers extraordinarily long alongside delicate citrus notes.
Terroir & Origin
Hails from the Alt Penedès on the right bank of the Bitlles River. The vines, planted in the 1950s and 60s, grow on highly calcareous soils, which imprint an extremely chiseled, chalk-dominant stamp upon the wine.
Grape Variety & Vinification
An almost balanced cuvée of Xarel·lo and Macabeu. As pioneers of the Corpinnat philosophy, this biodynamically farmed (Demeter-certified) estate relies entirely on pure craftsmanship: secondary fermentation in the bottle takes place under natural cork, before the wine is disgorged manually without freezing after an astonishing 80 months of lees ageing. As a Brut Nature, it receives no dosage whatsoever.
Food Pairings
Outstanding with raw oysters, seafood ceviche, poultry terrine or subtly seasoned scallop sashimi.
Special Features
An archaic masterpiece of craftsmanship: over six years of lees ageing, 100% biodynamic viticulture and absolute omission of dosage deliver an uncompromising terroir sparkling wine of world-class stature.
