Written Notes

D - / G 45 min Golden straw yellow colour with some lazy bubbles. Fresh nose delivers rich butterscotch nose with apple tart aromas and hints of oxidative nuances. Dry and crisp, light-bodied and elegant wine with intense apple and toasty flavours. Very lean and persistent palate. The wine is not the most complex champagne but it is very well balanced. No further cellaring.
