Tasting notes :
Producing a lush, long-lasting froth, this pale golden champagne has an expressive, generous aroma with notes of white fruits (apples/pears), fresh grapes and a touch of exoticism (lychee, mango). The primary aroma is soft, concealing a well-structured wine that has the length characteristic of the very best champagnes. The bouquet is clearly mineral. This is the ideal champagne to serve with stuffed quail or a pineapple gazpacho.
