Visual aspect: deep gold colour, limpid, brilliant. Very fine bubble. Nose: floral (vine, hawthorn, lime, verbana, rose petal), white-fleshed fruits (vine peach, quince, damson). Delicate woodiness, roasted (cocoa bean), buttery, brioche, vanilla. Palate: complex, rich, harmonious. All the taste buds are stimulated. The palate really confirms the nose. Exceptional and very great persistency. Finish with aromas of pistacchios and almonds. Match with food: an exceptional, festive wine. Comments: a superb expression of the champagne.
