Visual aspect: brilliant hue, salmon pink colour, silvery tinges, numerous bubbles. Nose: intense and complex; scents of fine yeast, ripe raspberries, melon, beeswax, mild spices. Palate: round first taste livened up by a good freshness. Rich and mouth-filling mid-palate, with light tannins. Match with food: pan-fried fillets of redmullet with oriental spices. Comments: an exceptional Champagne which gives the table nobility.
