Color: very pale yellow with viscous legs, fine and persistent bubbles. Nose: expressive and attractive, marked by brioche, almond and grapefruit. Hints of white flowers and candied fruit. Palate: creamy and generous attack, very elegant, with a perfect balance. Long finish, with candied apricot. Pairing: poultry cooked in Champagne or stuffed with porcini mushrooms and creamy mushroom sauce. Comment: a beautiful wine, loyal to its long and distinguished reputation.
