Visual analysis
The flavorful color of this Cuvée (golden yellow with some green reflections) is enlivened by a fine and fairly dynamic effervescence. It is crowned with a pretty pearl necklace and looks fresh and appetizing.
Olfactory analysis
The first nose is also appetizing. We perceive with clarity aromas of citrus and grain on a marshmallow background. After a few moments, the expression is enriched with elegant floral notes that suggest the rose but always with greediness, with a "muscat" nuance. After ten minutes of aeration, the wine evolves into bread, dried flowers, pear brandy and iodine. The character is elegant, attractive and exotic. The wine continues its evolution towards honey and iodine.
Taste analysis
The initial impact on the palate is sparkling, combining effervescence and liveliness. The mouth then reveals frothy and delicious. It acts as a reward. The wine is quite full and warm, which corresponds to the profile of the year. Gradually acidity and minerality are emerging, just as the wine turns out to be still warmer in the second part of the mouth. Thus, the texture of the wine, first of all invigorating, then appears creamier before ending with a chiseled finish.
The final
It is long, tangy and aromatic perfumes of clementine and menthol. It goes well straight, clean and limestone.
