A fresh, elegant nose. The palate is vertical, flooded with remarkable purity. Creamy and unctuous, the sweetness is the hallmark of this terroir in the south of the Côte des Blancs. A few zesty notes mingle with white fruit aromas. This 100% Chardonnay combines freshness and salinity. The bubbles are creamy and soft. The finish is iodised, resulting in a remarkable length. This is an accomplished Blanc de Blancs, combining pleasure, smoothness and delicacy.

"The 2010 Champagne Premier Cru Vertus Millesime Côte is just a shade deeper medium yellow color, and has tremendous power and persistence, with mouthwatering citrus energy in its notes of hazelnut and chalky, salty earth. It has a sustained depth as well, with a note of lemon oils."
