Visual aspect: pale yellow gold colour, yellow green tinges. With fine and quite fluid bubbles. Nose: grilled notes, almonds, brioche, crystallised lemon. Palate: supple first taste, buttery flavours, roundness. Slender finish, a lemony side. Match with food: fillet of bass with crayfish and chestnut chips; ashy goat cheese with dandelion salad. Comments: quite delectable and mature champagne.
