Nose: “The first expression is seductive in its floral elegance and its delicate hints of hazelnut and white-fleshed fruit. A racy aromatic profile and a chalky character, balanced and crystalline (raw butter, crisp pear and orange blossom). An irresistible charm on airing, all wrapped up in the harmonious bond between terroir & vintage.”
Palate: “A creamy tactile feeling of wonderfully crafted finesse. A lovely refreshing balance of natural flavours and pastry notes (soft brioche, mirabelle tart, fresh pineapple). This champagne, elegant and sleek in its majestic typicity, prolongs its finish into an aromatic persistence of incredible length (mandarin pulp, Virginia tobacco and white pepper).”
