Tasting notes: Fine, intense bubbles, persistent 'collar', magnificent pale gold colour with green highlights. A beautifully aromatic finesse on the nose, with elegance and sensuality, highlighting the subtle art of the blend of chardonnay and pinot noir. This Champagne will delight you with its bouquet, offering a delicious blend of yellow fruits - Mirabelle plum and apricot - and white fruits - vine peach - combining to perfection. This exotic, fresh wine will really wake up your taste buds with its explosive, citron character with a touch ofmineral and a rich finish of pastries and confectionery. The attack of this Champagne is wonderfully fresh. Good weight in the mouth, refreshing and flavourful, not to mention its liveliness, elegance and femininity. The finish which is very balanced stays with fruit and freshness. A very flexible wine which can be an excellent aperitif, or enjoyed with white meats in a sauce or creamy fish. A brunch or cocktail wine.
