TASTING
Appearance: pale golden hue with crystal clear tints.

Nose: the enchanting freshness of the apricot and nectarine aromas gradually gives way to a beautiful chalky minerality. Notes of toasted almond, lightly toasted bread and praline add to the complexity of this seductive nose.

Palate: a fresh, full-bodied attack, supported by a saline minerality, opens up to aromas of nectarine and preserved lemon. The characteristic texture of this cuvée lasts a long time on the palate, with a spicy, roasted finish.

FOOD PAIRING & SERVING
This exceptional champagne offers endless possibilities for gastronomic pairings
and is particularly well suited to more delicately flavoured dishes. It is the ideal
match for squid in a lemon sauce served with fresh garden vegetables, a delicately
spiced chicken supreme or a veal medallion with morel mushrooms.

Best served between 10 and 12°C.
This wine has very good cellar-ageing potential.
