Fragrance
White fruits and fresh almond, followed by aromas of chocolate and toast with fresh raspberry, star anise and candied chestnuts.
Taste
The attack is both lively and rich with saline notes, and a very long, persistent finish.
Pairing
As good with seafood, white fish as with a dessert.
Vinification
Equal proportions of chardonnay and pinot noir.
Exceptionally high for Champagne, the «reserve wines» account for half of the blend.
Ageing is far longer than
the legal requirement: three to
four years in bottle “sur lies”, followed by six months rest after disgorgement. Dosage: Zero.
