Color: beautiful moderate golden color with some delicate green reflections, a persistent mousse of fine bubbles. Nose: quite generous, plenty of ripe yellow fruits, baked yellow apples, juicy peach and yellow plums. Very attractive biscuit notes coming from the ageing on the lees, yeasty scents, hazelnut-like characteristics. Touch of peony, beeswax. The nose is generous, ripe and complex. Palate: quite round, dry, with a nice sense of ripeness delivered by the fleshy yellow stone fruits, baked and buttered yellow apples, yellow mirabelle plums, juicy sweet peach and apricot. A pleasant underlying freshness, giving a very nice balance, substance and concentration. A creamy mousse which shows a wonderful texture, a fresh sensation. Underneath you have an elegant finish with biscuit, a little bit of honey, hazelnuts touch. Comment: because of its slight generosity this gastronomic champagne will be perfect with a dover sole pan-fried, french-style beurre blanc, chervil, a little hint of pepper and fresh lime on the top.
