Organoleptique
Producer’s opinion: based on two generous vintages, the blend was easy to balance,
to reach a fresh and delicate wine.
Sommelier’s opinion: with its very pale color and the very fine bubbles, it's a very
charming champagne, with aromas of almonds and calissons and a hint of white
flowers developing into aromas of dried fruit and especially dried apricots, with a
remarkable persistence and great length.
When to serve: a very refined and elegant Blanc de blancs, great for a sip in
the afternoon in front of the fire place or at the end of the evening.
