tasting notes

Composition

Pinot Noir 50%, Chardonnay 36%, Meunier 14% 

Contains sulphites

COLOR

The robe remains vibrant and bright. The bubbles are especially delicate and persistent.

NOSE

Maturity is expressed immediately with the first fleeting aromas being rich and smooth, reminiscent of harvested grains, toasted brioche or blond tobacco. These rich notes evoke caramelized roasted pineapple, apricot tart, chestnut honey and frangipane, complemented by subtle hints of garrigue, resin and nutmeg.

PALATE

The palate is inviting, with a continued sensation of richness. The wine is full, dense and enveloping, with sumptuous flavors evocative of panettone. Its 14 years of maturation have imparted a patina and extended the acidulous, peppery finish.
