Visual aspect: a vivid, mature and gleaming golden-yellow hue. Pleasant, consistent effervescence. Nose: developed aromas. Scents of walnut, beeswax, mature honey and salted butter caramel. Palate: rich and well-balanced. Lovely amount of body. Superb on retro-olfaction with flavours of Médoc vine canes. Generous and powerful finish. Match with food: calf's sweetbread with morel mushrooms. Comments: a wonderful champagne to accompany a meal.
