Red with light crimson tints. A generous bouquet of dried flowers (violets, peonies, roses), red and black fruits (blackcurrants, blackberries), and spices (cocoa, vanilla) with a luscious, complex quality that is soft and comforting. Delicious on the palate: velvety soft and enveloping on entry with a hint of sweetness. Concentrated and dense, but above all harmonious and captivating. After a few moments, the fruit gives way to dried flowers and spices, along with a grainy, saline and chalky freshness that adds structure to the wine.

Very fresh, precise and pure bouquet, with warm toasted notes of hay, wheat and dried nuts, concentrated juicy ripe fruit (melon, pear) and lightly honeyed floral notes. After aeration, we have a lovely bouquet of reductive aromas with spicy nuances.

Intense, concentrated and fresh on the palate with candied citrus fruit and a juicy, almost oily texture. Chalky and saline notes then follow and are underpinned by a lovely tannic structure. The finish has a mouth- watering texture with toasted notes that provide great aromatic length. The whole is vibrant, perfectly integrated, precise, powerful and fresh.

Deep golden yellow hue. Bouquet of yellow fruit (Mirabelle plums), dried nuts (almonds), wheat and roasted hazelnuts. The oaky notes are delicately interwoven into the wine's bouquet, giving an impression of a delicious, noble reduction. The palate is concentrated and caressingly soft with a big, rich, rounded and oily texture. The mid-palate reveals a delicate, sappy texture combined with the lovely mineral acidity that is the hallmark of this wine, while the texture of the oak lengthens the palate and creates a very savory finish. Oaky notes delicately interwoven into the wine's bouquet, giving an impression of a delicious noble reduction.

Golden yellow hue. Powerful, complex bouquet of yellow fruit (mirabelle plum), sweet white flowers (honeysuckle), finely toasted hazelnuts, and a hint of honey towards the end. The fruit is deep and concentrated, but finely drawn out by some powdery notes of damp chalk. After some aeration, the aromatic power grows to a crescendo as the notes of harvest and baked apples intensify. Concentrated, broad yet delicate palate. Juicy sweetness on entry that stretches out, carried by a sensation of dryness, of a cold, saline freshness that draws out the wine’s body.

It unleashes a succession of delectable notes of cooked fruit, baked apple, white flowers, almond and frangipane. This lovely, well-balanced epicurean champagne is an instant hit!
