Description
The elegant taste of this champagne conveys luxurious simplicity and refinement, opening with vibrant acidity and crisp minerality that create a crystalline foundation for subtle flavors of ripe melon, mandarin, toasted brioche, and light touches of candied ginger. A long, creamy finish is accompanied by a delicious salinity. The aroma impresses with its complexity: fresh notes of eucalyptus, mint, and vetiver intertwine with hints of yellow mirabelle plum, apricot, and orange blossom, complemented by accents of brown pepper, cardamom, and licorice. Upon aeration, nuances of buttery pastry, citrus oil, almond, honey, and light smoke emerge. The technical complexity of the traditional production method is particularly noteworthy: lengthy secondary fermentation in the bottle, delicate manipulation of the yeast sediment, and years of aging create the depth, texture, and aromatic complexity unattainable with simpler techniques. It is this painstaking and slow-paced winemaking process that makes a wine truly great.
