Visual aspect: gold colour, limpid. Nose: nice floral (hawthorn, vine flower, rose petal). Small note of vanilla. White-fleshed fruits (quince, pear). Mineral touch (chalk). Palate: powerful and generous first taste, retro-olfaction. Reminds the aromas of the nose. Great delicacy in the finish. Match with food: a festive wine; exceptional meal; noble products. Comments: a nice expression of the champagne. An exceptional wine for a 2004.
