Color: clear lemon yellow. Nose: expressive, showing maturity with honey, yellow peach, mirabelle plum, and woody spices. Palate: creamy, soft, full, and spiced. Generous, complex, with zesty freshness. Slightly buttery, rounded, with notes of black fruits (blackberries, blackcurrant). Nice touch of oak. Pairing: monkfish tagine; lobster curry with pineapple. Comment: a gastronomic champagne, with body, fleshy and creamy. Cellar for 3-5 years.
