Color: pale yellow, golden reflections, very fine bubbles. Nose: indulgent and tangy notes of vine peaches, apricots, and not overly ripe cherries. Palate: straight, with a beautiful expression of Chardonnay, marked salinity. Apples, white flowers. A silky and rich texture, balanced by a salivating acidity and a mineral finish. Pairing: buttery puree with caviar grains. Comment: a gastronomic Champagne with a balance between roundness and straightness.
