The color is golden with emerald reflections and particularly fine bubbles. The nose is fresh, with a hint of menthol spicing up the fruity aromas of pink grapefruit and frangipane. The attack is clear and fresh with a touch of lemon. On the mid-palate, the wine evokes a range of gourmet aromas: apples baked in salted butter, tarte tatin, far breton ... This subtle complexity is enhanced by a spicy touch of candied ginger and star anise. The long, tonic and mineral finish evokes fresh pineapples with a touch of citrus.

"The initial nose is quite shy, but coaxing reveals a character expressing white fruit such as pear and spring flowers enhanced by pastry and citrusy notes. The palate has a suave, even mouthcoating texture and remarkable depth that is beautifully sustained by chalky salinity and a gorgeous grapefruit taste."

“A powerful, explosive Champagne, the 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Celebris hits the palate with layers of exotic, resonant Chardonnay fruit. Savory, floral and earthy notes add dimension. Readers will find a dense, potent Blanc de Blancs for the dinner table. Exceptionally complex and beguiling, the 2012 will drink well for another decade, maybe more.”
