Visual analysis
The presentation of this Cuvée is very bright and dynamic. We particularly admire its golden colour with intense green reflections, the rapidity of the effervescence, the fineness of the bubbles and the magnificent halo of foam on the surface.Olfactory analysis
The first nose expresses maturity: bread, butter, honey, hazelnuts, candied citrus fruit, testifying to the years spent in the cellar and the work of the yeasts.As it warms up, minerality appears and the expression becomes more maritime. After a few minutes, it is autumn, with notes of undergrowth and cooked fruit
This Grande Réserve reveals its complexity by expressing, at the same time, primary, secondary and tertiary aromas.
Taste analysis
The initial impression on the palate is frank and tonic, then the effervescence quickly fades into the background to reveal the body of the wine, fleshy but soaring, thanks to the acidity that ensures a dynamic rhythm.The second part of the palate becomes warm and the aromatic character is coloured by aromas of nougat and cooked pear.
The whole generates a very pleasant, soft, warm and fluid texture, suggesting the elegance of fine cottons.
The final
The elegantly mineral finish is surprisingly long.The aromas persist for about 10 seconds, leaving an impression of pastry, chalk and slight saltiness.
