Visual aspect: a pale golden hue with a uniform cordon. Nose: very floral (white blossom), with scents of white-fleshed fruit (pear). A lovely hint of minerality. Palate: full-bodied, concentrated and intense. Floral touches confirm the aromas. The second taste reveals a touch of minerality. Match with food: scallop carpaccio. Comments: superb balance which makes it an exceptional champagne.
