Tasting Notes – A Sensory Experience
Nose: Beautiful complexity with floral notes of hawthorn, white flowers, and verbena, accompanied by fresh pear, kumquat, a hint of ginger, and subtle mint nuances.
Palate: Fresh and vibrant mouthfeel. A dynamic and blossoming start, where notes of honeysuckle blend with peach and citrus. The finish offers long-lasting aromas with a touch of bitter orange peel and elegant minerality.
This champagne strikes a fine balance between the chalky finesse of Côte des Blancs and the more structured depth of Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims – a truly harmonious symphony in the glass.
