Visual analysis
A fresh and appetising presentation.Its light yellow colour is adorned with pretty green reflections and its fine, bright effervescence creates a magnificent halo on the surface.
Olfactory analysis
The first nose is open. We immediately perceive scents of citrus fruits, butter, thyme, oregano and bergamot.With aeration, the expression becomes marine.
Then, as the Champagne warms up, it becomes more "earthy" and releases a hint of roasted hazelnut and a lactic note.
A complex and seductive nose, distinctive of an exceptional Champagne Blanc de Blancs!
Taste analysis
The initial impression on the palate is precise and delicate at the same time.Then the effervescence sets the pace and the wine makes us appreciate its fluidity. The wine's freshness and body are in balance, in counterpoint to the effervescence. The whole arouses a delicious savoury sensation.
The palate, the warm and somewhat soft texture of the wine (suggesting wool), reinforce this impression of pleasure.
The final
The finish is aromatic, very long (10 seconds of persistence), acidic and generous.Very gently, it reveals a tenuous salinity coated with wet chalk.
