Visual aspect: beautiful gold colour, brilliant. Numerous fine bubbles. Nose: rich, mushroom, truffled, brioche. Slightly woody, beer yeast. Complex and chiselled nose. Palate: generous, moreish, crystallised. Nice amplitude, candied pomelo, harmonious. Superb finish. Match with food: lamb with rosemary and saffroned rice; foie gras fried with chanterelles. Comments: a very nice Champagne for the winter meals.
