Tasting profile
An elegant, complex Pinot Noir-driven Champagne with fine, persistent bubbles and a golden hue, showing brioche, honey, golden apple, pink grapefruit, almond, and chalky minerality framed by oak-barrel notes of vanilla, cream, and spice. Structured and vinous yet fresh and harmonious, with bright acidity and a long, delicate citrus and red-berry finish.
Synthesized from 38Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Such a beautiful Champagne, very elegant with a great tipicity and perfect evolution, still with a great potential. Golden yellow color, small bubbles in medium intensity perlage. Brioche, golden apple, cream, caramel, honey, pink grapefruit, almonds and minerals. It was a great pairing with salmon and sea bass tartare.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
