Visual analysis
The color of this 2008 vintage, bright yellow with a beautiful intensity, is animated by tiny and rapid bubbles. They form a thin bead on the surface. The visual presentation is rich, mature and elegant.
Olfactory analysis
The first nose is spring and warm at the same time. A sunny spring, as evidenced by the aromas of Menton lemon region and mimosa. After aerating, the expression suggests subtle spices (thyme), the blond tobacco and pastry, always with a sense of freshness and delicacy. The air resistance is excellent, the wine showing a nice potential.
Taste analysis
The initial impact on the palate is fresh, then we discover a mouth punctuated by a beautiful liveliness as well as an abundant effervescence. This tone is doubled in the mid-palate with a pleasant consistency, in particular thanks to the dosage which discreetly brings a little volume and serves as a binder for the whole. The texture of this wine, like thick cotton, gives us comfort and warmth.
The final
The finish is very long, about 10 seconds of persistence, and well tart (both acidic and sweet). It leaves a last mineral memory, a limestone sensation.
