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.

“Sleek and mineral-driven, with a lacy texture and an underlying chalkiness. This well-knit Champagne offers flavors of ripe nectarine, yellow plum and lemon curd, with accents of grated ginger, lime blossoms and pink grapefruit pith, plus a rich note of pain d'épices. Fresh, spiced finish.”
