Color: pale yellow, bright, with a lovely viscosity. Fine bubbles and tears. Nose: pear and mandarin. Rich but delicate, floral and very pleasant. Palate: soft on the attack, with citrus notes (ripe lemon, mandarin). Marked salinity with mild spices. Very fresh and long, with tension and balance, and a rich finish. Pairing: white fish with lemon thyme and hyssop jus. Comment: cellar for 4-5 years. A beautiful champagne with great balance. A delightful discovery, a favorite.
