GEMMA SPARKLING BRUT

Tasting Notes

Brilliant and luminous in the glass, Gemma Sparkling Brut shimmers a pale straw-gold hue with silver reflections. A cascade of tiny, elegant bubbles rises in a continuous, fine bead—persistent, delicate, and quietly confident—hinting at the precision and care behind this inaugural cuvée. Fresh and expressive, the nose opens with citrus blossom, white peach, and crisp green apple. As it unfolds, notes of lemon curd, pear skin, and a touch of brioche come forward, lifted by subtle floral tones. Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier contribute a whisper of wild strawberry and minerality, creating a bright, inviting bouquet. On the palate, the wine beautifully balances sweet and tart, offering just enough roundness to soften its vibrant acidity. Flavors of Meyer lemon, honeycrisp apple, and pear glide across the palate, joined by hints of almond cream, golden raspberry, and a touch of toasted pastry. The 8 g/L of residual sugar is seamless—adding finesse and harmony without ever feeling sweet. The mousse is refined and silky, carrying the fruit with grace. Chardonnay provides structure and tension, while Pinot Noir adds depth and mid-palate flesh. Pinot Meunier contributes a gentle softness, tying the blend together with effortless charm. The finish is crisp, clean, and refreshing, lingering with notes of citrus zest, mineral energy, and a subtle kiss of red fruit. Elegant yet joyful, it leaves the palate lifted and ready for another sip.
