Description

The Champagne displays a luminous and fluid, pale yellow-gold color.

The first nose is pared-down, with iodine and fine chalk smells, with fragrances of acacia, buttercup, mimosa, accompanied by notes of lemon, peach, peppermint. When aerated the Champagne evolves towards notes of wallflower, candied pear, nougat, almond.

After a few moments the wine reveals spicy and roasted accents.

The Champagne develops a pulpy and crisp fruity matter, sustained by a tense acidity reminding those of lemon.

The middle mouth is orchestrated by a very pure chalky minerality that provides frankness, saltiness with iodine aroma and a good length to the palate.

The careful dosage allows you to appreciate more creamy texture, that brings velvety feel harmoniously joined to marine freshness that persists and carries you away.
