Visual aspect: old gold colour, fine bubbles, average ring. Nose: vegetal, humus, undergrowth aromas; very complex nose. Palate: pure and mineral first taste. Very powerful mid-palate with some oxydative notes. Great complexity, with hints of saltiness. A lot of freshness and minerality in the aftertaste. Match with food: calf's liver with balsamic vinegar; hare à la royale. Comments: an outstanding Champagne to discover now! One of our favourites!
