Appearance
:
·
Pale gold with green glints
·
Fine perlage
·
Well-defined, persistent bead of bubbles
·
Limpid and bright
Nose :
·
Elegant and alluring, the signature of
Chardonnay, sole vine of the Cuvée
·
At the first nose it reveals aromas of
brioche and pastries, together with delicate notes of caramel, almost roasted highlighting
the maturity of this Cuvée, the result of lengthy ageing sur
lattes of the bottles, carefully controlled by Philippe Gué, the producer
·
Left to breathe, you are rewarded with delicious
nuances of citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit, clementine), enriched by white
flowers, hazelnut and almond
Palate
:
·
A marked attack, swiftly complimented by a enveloping, smooth roundness,
almost creamy, thanks to a meticulous malolactic fermentation process and appropriate dosage, with 10g/L of sugar added at disgorgement
·
Subtle effervescence
·
Deliciously mineral finish
·
Good length on the palate
Excellent value for money, this
