bubbles

brightness
Nose :
·
Intense and elegant
·
The first nose is marked by chocolate,
toasted bread, roasted coffee and pastries, signs of the good maturity of this Cuvée,
the result of carefully controlled ageing sur lattes
·
Developing towards notes of candied citrus
fruits (grapefruit, lemon), apple and pear, an expression of the 33% Chardonnay
·
Left to breathe, you are rewarded with delicious
scents of red fruits and kirsch, expressed by the 33% Pinot Noir and 33% Pinot
Meunier
Palate
:
·
A lively attack, amazing
minerality, with the citrusy aromas already perceived by the nose
·
Remarkable presence, combined with a full
structure and delicious and amazing astringency, the result of a particular
grape pressing strategy using a centuries-old traditional Darcq Flamain press, adding 5 to 10% of
the second press wine to the free run wine (cuvée).
·
Steady effervescence
·
Deliciously spicy finish (pepper)
·
Good length on the palate
This Champagne Brut Tradition by
the Champagne House of Joseph Desruets, traditionally produced, with manual
riddling and disgorgement on the spot, reveals a very distinct and alluring
personality, almost virile.
Drink as an aperitif, but
above all during a meal, to accompany a first course or even poultry.
