Visual analysis
The color is greenish-gold. Bright and luminous, it is animated by very fine bubbles that form a beautiful white cordon.The presentation is surprisingly youthful.
Olfactory analysis
The first nose is distinct and open.We immediately perceive notes of acacia and honey that produce an autumnal nuance.
Shortly after the expression becomes richer with hints of baked fruit, toast, iodine and seaweed. His aeration is magnificent. Mentholated notes add freshness and indicate the wine's good health.
Fine, precision and nobility are the words that come to mind.
Taste analysis
The initial impression on the palate is comfortable and the effervescence immediately coats the palate. Which leads to a wonderful mouthfeel.The wine's remarkable acidity and body blend admirably with the effervescence over aromas of honey and wet chalk. This is brought together by the dosage, which reinforces the texture and helps create a silky texture.
A feeling of harmony, of purity is released, highlighting the wine's sublime acid profile and light toasty flavors.
An excellent example of Champagne balance.
The final
The finish is straight, aromatic and still fresh.It leaves a delicately chalky and saline impression, with hints of shellfish and crustaceans that are a sign of the beautiful origin and perfectly successful elaboration of this 1998 Millésime.
