Color: pale gold with green reflections. Nose: refined, indulgent. The Pinot Noirs from the Marne Valley reveal lovely fruit (currant, fresh raspberry). The Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs bring subtle notes of damp chalk, white flowers, and bergamot. Palate: delicate, citrusy, mineral. Saline and silky finish. Pairing: aperitif; langoustine tartare, grapefruit supremes. Comment: magnificently reflects the art of blending in Champagne.
