Color: beautiful gold, clear, with lovely fine bubbles. Nose: quite complex, very fruity, distinctly “Chardonnay.” Palate: ample and voluminous. Freshness and acidity from the Chardonnay at the beginning. Notes of plums and exotic fruits, with candied fruits on the finish. Pairing: sweet and savory dishes; chicken breast with plums. Comment: an original and characterful cuvée for connoisseurs. Ages for 5 years.
