Visual analysis
The presentation of this Cuvée is rich and lively.The colour of this 2016 vintage is reminiscent of ripe wheat, with beautiful green reflections, and offers us a twirling effervescence that feeds a thick string of foam on the surface.
Olfactory analysis
The first nose, intense and complex, is very seductive: we perceive notes of yellow fruit, baguette, mimosa and daffodil. After a few moments, the expression becomes more "typical" with white pepper, seaweed and an iodine sensation.After ten minutes in the flute, the wine evolves towards praline, cream and pastry. A very evolving nose, which transports us from the intensity of spring, to the tastiness, while passing by the sea.
Taste analysis
The first impression on the palate is immediately broad and creamy, then the palate is voluminous and tasty.Full-bodied and fresh, it reveals a wonderfully tactile, soft and warm texture that could be compared to cashmere.
The final
The finish is very aromatic and long (12 seconds of persistence).Rich and creamy, it expresses itself in continuity. After a few seconds, it reveals a delicately chalky sensation.
