Notes from the Producer: With Coquet, we strive to preserve the freshness and fruitiness of the wine. By aging around 4 months this contributes to the development of a wonderfully creamy bubble while still maintaining the citrusy freshness and imparting subtle yeasty aromas. By aging with a natural cork we also add a touch of bitterness to enhance its length and endure a balanced flavor profile.
