Color: beautiful brilliance, golden reflections, delicate bubbles. Nose: very fine and delicate, powerful, opening with pastry notes (vanilla), dried apricot. Palate: straightforward and clear. A beautiful complexity, with freshness. Mineral hint, adding to the indulgence. Finish with a very pleasant subtle bitterness. Pairing: roast poultry; fresh cheese platter. Comment: a gastronomic champagne, to be enjoyed now but can be kept for 5 years.
