We can continue with goat's milk cheeses, a Selles-sur-Cher or a Valençay.

Visual analysis
The presentation is very attractive.The green-gold colour is delicate and very bright.
The effervescence of fine bubbles is very active and ends by creating a pretty halo on the surface.
Olfactory analysis
The first nose is open.We can gradually perceive aromas of citrus fruits, vegetables and bread.
After few minutes of aeration, the expression evolves towards lime, rape honey, as well as a smell of cobblestone.
It is a nose that assert its identity and expresses its great potential.
Taste analysis
The initial impression on the palate is precise.The effervescence and its delicately provocative character mark the rhythm of the tasting. The acidity brings a certain tension and smoothes the body of the wine.
The whole offers us a magnificent texture at the same time fine, caressing, cold and slightly tense, like taffeta.
Aromas of almond, fresh honey and pear enrich this beautiful material, which, as it warms up on the palate, acquires a very tasty touch.
The final
The finish is long (8 seconds of persistence) and chalky. We perceive a saline touch accompanying the freshness of the acidity.The finish offers us all four elemental flavours.
