Tasting:
Appearance: Sustained mousse,persistence collar,intense yellow colour with a few golden highlights.
Aroma Areflection of the best years when nature was so generous,this cuvee always surprises by its youthful spirit and sparkling notes of mandarin.This vintage shows wonderful round,fat and powerful qualities on the nose.The aromatic complexity is omnipresent on notes of bergamot,salted butter,spices,hazelnuts,ginger bread and yellow fruits like peach and plum.
Taste: From the first mouthful, you feel this gentle attack of effervescence where hazelnut flirts with acacia flower then nuances of lily.Its fine ,silk mousse is plentiful ans its balance and structure create an appealing Champagne with its upretentious character. Raised in the secrecy of our cave,this jewel is for lovers of pure sensations. Here nothing is hidden:the fruit and terroir are fully expressed. A special wine for an aperitif but also an accommpaniment for a gasrtonomic meal of seafood,fish and filets mignons.
