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.
With aeration, the expression becomes more intense and 'earthy'. Roots, mushrooms and apricot compote suggest an autumnal and delicately smoky note.

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.

Xavier Leconte
Les Cotéas 2016 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.
