Tasting Notes
Appearance: Clear, pale yellow with subtle green hues, marked by fine and persistent mousse.
Nose: A complex and delicate bouquet of fresh citrus such as lime and grapefruit, accompanied by floral notes of white flowers and mineral touches reminiscent of chalk. There are also hints of stone fruits like white peach and subtle brioche nuances.
Palate: Lively and precise on the attack, with a silky texture that envelops the palate. Citrus and white fruit flavors unfold harmoniously, supported by vibrant minerality that adds a sense of purity. The finish is long and elegant, marked by a lemony freshness and notes of flint.
Aging Potential
This Champagne can be enjoyed now for its freshness, yet it has an aging potential of 5 to 7 years, allowing its aromas to develop greater complexity.
Food Pairing
Ideal as an aperitif or to accompany delicate dishes such as oysters, shellfish (especially langoustines), and fine fish like sea bass or turbot. It also pairs very well with crisp vegetable dishes and carpaccios of fish or shellfish.
