TASTING NOTES
Appearance
Deep yellow with an abundant effervescence which feeds a persistent bead of fine bubbles.
Nose
Expressive and very present with floral notes: elderflower, peony and acacia. With aeration, aromas of liquorice and gingerbread. Very fresh fruit, pear, plum.
Palate
Very generous and accessible. The Pinot Noir brings a fleshy character of very ripe pear and white peach. A touch of chardonnay prolongs the mouth and adds creamy notes, with a finish of candied citrus fruits.
Food pairing
This balanced champagne will work wonders as an aperitif but can also accompany white meats, a grilled andouillette sausage or a French cheese with a flowery rind, such as chaource or vacherin.
