Staff Pick Notes

Although the son of a revered natural vigneron, Martin Texier wanted to carve his own path. In 2014, he managed to acquire a few hectares and began planting.

It shows a generous nose of pineapple, ginger, and red apples. Add a drop of honey that you notice on the palate. There is a touch of graininess that adds to the bubbly texture.
