TASTING
The pouring of champagne generates a generous, persistent mousse, relayed by a string of direct, intense bubbles that feed a marked, homogeneous collar. The champagne is luminous, with a distinctive "partridge-eye" color.
The first nose is frank and direct, with a beautiful intensity. Aromas of fresh almonds reveal themselves, setting a charming and bewitching tone. Then pastry and iron notes give a flattering side of lightly vanilla-flavored custard with sweet spices.
The attack is fresh and dynamic. The wine is open and full-bodied, supported by a creamy, persistent mousse that adds structure to the whole. Notes of red fruit, such as tart redcurrants, with a hint of tannin, define this champagne as a table wine.
