Tasting Notes
The colour is bright and limpid, yellow with golden glints. Beautiful brilliance with sustained effervescence and a persistent bead.
The first nose is fine, fresh and fruity, with notes of white fruits (pear, reinette apple), apricot as well as hazelnut and fresh almond. Some floral and spicy notes add an extra layer of complexity. The second nose reveals a beautiful olfactory intensity, on a more brioche and biscuity background.
Perfectly balanced, the palate is supple and suave, delivering aromas of yellow fruit, ripe stone fruit and mirabelle plum tart. A beautiful roundness, paired with harmony and a nice persistence, envelops the palate. The finish is long, the well-integrated dosage gives way to a freshness characteristic of Chardonnay, which dominates the blend.
Food pairings
A perfect champagne for aperitifs whatever the occasion, which can also be served as a starter with light and refined dishes such as poached oysters, scallops a la plancha or as a main course with sole meunière or tender poultry stuffed with dried fruit. It can also pair with local cheeses with a short maturation period, such as a Chaource or a creamy Langres.
