Visual aspect: pale gold colour, greenish tinges. Nice effervescence, beautiful bead. Nose: tangy, mineral, chalk. Lovely freshness (menthol, fennel), bitter almond, white-fleshed fruits. Palate: vivid and fresh first taste, harmonious. Confirms the nose with white-fleshed fruits. Nice finish with a hint of almond. Match with food: grenadine of veal with chanterelles; cod back with Champagne lentils. Comments: very nice non-vintage brut. Full of finesse and powerfulness.
