A FULL, GOURMAND NOSE
The first notes evoke the harvesting of red berries warmed by the summer sun: wild berries, wild strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants. These fruity aromas are tinged with floral and vegetable notes such as rhubarb, violet and poppy-flavoured candy. A hint of vanilla and pink pepper underscores the full maturity of this champagne.
A LIGHT YET INTENSE PALACE
The palate evokes a candy store and its aromas of marshmallows, hard candy, cotton candy, candy apples. As it evolves, notes of nutmeg, dried fig and black cherry appear. Pinot Noir expresses itself here with airy elegance, through an enveloping texture and a finish featuring warm spices.
A COMPLEX NOSE
After the explosion of tropical notes such as pineapple and mango, the full roundness of stone fruit (mirabelle plum, apricot) settles in, underscored by a light dash of vanilla.
A SMOOTH AND LIVELY PALATE
The mouth is first enveloped by dense tropical fruit notes: pineapple and passion fruit. Then, it discovers the firm and silky flavours of stone fruits, finishing on the invigorating freshness of grapefruit.
A GOURMAND NOSE
The nose is plunged into a basket of ripe blackberries: wild strawberries, redcurrants and blackcurrants release their summer aromas. Notes of sunny yellow peaches then become more pronounced. This crescendo continues and morphs into mouthwatering nuance of strawberry jam.
THE PALATE COMBINES RICHNESS AND FRESHNESS
Intense and tasty, the sensation of red berries lingers on the palate for a long time. It is partnered by the sweetness of nutmeg and caramel. A nice contrast to finish, with the acidulous freshness contributed by a burst of redcurrant.
TASTING NOTES:
A powerful, multidimensional champagne
APPEARANCE
Yellow, with a golden glow.
AROMA
Coffee, praline and Viennese pastry give way to citrus peel and kumquat, followed by mineral-tinged aromas redolent of the sea.
TASTE
The silky, opulent palate expresses notes of candied citrus fruits, plums and nectarines, dried figs and dates, and vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. A precise finish has a lightly bitter saltiness.
A FRUITY AND INTENSE NOSE
The first notes start tropical, with the powerful fruitiness of mango and pineapple. They then leave room for the generosity of stone fruits such as nectarine, then to an original raspberry note.
THE GENEROUS PALATE COMBINES SWEETNESS AND FRESHNESS
After the fleshy and delicious fullness of a fresh fruit salad comes the sweetness of caramel and quince jelly. The fresh acidity of grapefruit and ginger creates a lively sensation on the palate.
