Color: pronounced gold hue, fine and persistent bubbles. Silver reflections. Nose: ripe and compote fruits (apple, quince). Toasty notes, with honey, beeswax, and hazelnut. Palate: direct, ample, indulgent attack. Elegant, with white flowers and a light brioche note. Light effervescence, with beautiful complexity. Pairing: confit lamb with sunchokes; grilled lobster. Comment: a beautiful cuvee, a wine of pleasure. Cellar up to 10 years.
