The winemaker Odilon has, at all costs, tried to avoid the vintage's flaccid, good-natured, and unstructured character. The nose consists of creamy, almost clinically mellow elements of newly washed sheets, which become more apparent the longer the wine is aired. Otherwise, this young greenish-yellow wine is dominated by fruity aromas. Most obvious are cherimoya, papaya, banana, and grapefruit. Incredibly acidic finish, just like a great '96.

#thechampagnesommelier TASTING NOTE Den svagaste AdD hittils. Dock den minst utvecklade 97:a n. Dåvarande Vinmakaren Odilon har till varje pris velat undvika årgångens slappa snälla och ostrukturerade karaktär Finstämd lättplacerad blanc de blancs med underliggande söt avrundad frukt. GASTRONOMI Ankleverterrin gjord på lever från frigående ankor med brioche, bitter sallad (endiver & Lollo Rosso) och flamberade päron. I HÖGTALAREN Madonna ’Vogue’.
