Grape variety: Chardonnay
The wine is pale lemon in colour. Beautiful thin perlage of small bubbles. An elegant restrained nose; aromas of green apple, pear, gooseberry, distinct notes of ageing on lees (brioche, dough, custard, yoghurt). Greatly balanced crisp acidity, notes of sweetness from dosage and moderate alcohol; very good fruit concentration; flavours of white currant, pear, cream and lemon in a long lasting harmonious finish. Ready for drinking with a potential for ageing. Tasted blind.
