To the eye
On the nose
The first olfactory notes reveal the liveliness of citrus fruits from Chardonnay, with nuances of lime and grapefruit. Slowly, the aromas of red fruits, characteristic of Pinot Noir, are revealed, remembering redcurrant, raspberry and morello cherry. By letting the champagne open up further in the glass, the Pinot Meunier unfolds its flavors, offering a subtle link of slightly candied, even exotic fruits, with a touch of pineapple.
The attack is bright, driven by a subtle dosage that preserves all the authenticity of the wine. On the palate, the first flavors confirm the aromas perceived on the nose, with accents of lively citrus fruits, delicate almonds and toast. A sweetness then develops, remembering redcurrant jelly, followed by nuances of black fruits such as cherry, fig and blackberry.
As it evolves, aerating and gaining temperature, this champagne reveals delicate touches of plum and pear.
