Visual analysis
The visual presentation immediately anticipates the richness and maturity of the Cuvée.
The colour is a delicious golden, brilliant and animated by a myriad of fine bubbles. The effervescence makes us appreciate its sparkle in the flûte for a long time.

Olfactory analysis
The first nose is intense and floral. It offers us daffodils and mimosas and then quince and ladyfingers.

Taste analysis
The first impression on the palate is very delicate. The richness of the wine and the thickness of its structure quickly show a Champagne of great texture, dense and voluptuous. The creamy and warm sensation, accompanied by kirsch aromas, confirms this impression.
On the palate, it offers us a texture reminiscent of velvet and very impressive.

The final
The finish is particularly long (over 10 seconds of persistence) and distinctive, well marked by the beautiful minerality of the terroir.
Les Cotéas
Meunier 2016
Xavier Leconte
Les Cotéas 2015 is a rare Champagne. Extremely mineral, powerful and vinous, it illustrates the work of the grower in his quest to express the character of his terroir.
It thus joins the family of "grand origin" Champagnes.
