Color: intense gold, silver reflections. Fine and elegant bubbles. Nose: very concentrated in fruits (mirabelle plum, damson, apple, pear, jammy raspberry). Fresh and lively. Slightly aniseed nose. Palate: opulent, rich, showcasing roundness and finesse. Fresh, elegant, finely opulent, indulgent, with beautiful persistence. White-fleshed fruits. Beautiful acidity on the finish. Pairing: braised duck with raspberry sauce. Comment: a characterful Champagne, very promising.
