Champagne Mythique
Luxurious bottle, emblematic of the cuvée.
Aspect :
·
Golden.
·
Refined and dynamic bubbles.
·
Elegant bead of
bubbles, persistent.
Nose :
·
Captivating, it
slowly unveils its sensual and mysterious aromatic universe.
·
The finesse of the
Chardonnay (50%), with its subtle scents of peach, citrus fruits, apricot and
raisin, crusty almond and hazelnut, is enhanced by the joyful fragrances of the
Pinot Noir (50%), with notes of red and black fruits and delicate spices (pepper,
cinnamon and vanilla).
·
Later, warm aromas
of cocoa and roasted coffee are revealed, expressions of the perfect maturity
of the cuvée, obtained by ageing on
laths of the bottles for 9 years before disgorgement.
Palate :
·
Deep, ample and balanced attack.
·
The mouth becomes caressing and warm,
underlined by the delicate minerality and the silky effervescence.
·
Tasty finish, coupled with a touch of
spices and red fruits.
·
Remarkable length on the palate.
