colour

Delicate and very
numerous bubbles
·
Refined and
long-lasting cordon

Nose:

Intense and charming, it immediately provides pleasant
sensations
·
Red fruit aromas dominate, on blackcurrant, raspberry,
strawberry jam and kirsch, accompanied with spices (pepper and cinnamon),
result of the 50% Pinot Meunier
·
Patience is rewarded as delicate hints of stewed appel
and pear appear, expression of the 50% of Chardonnay, harvested at full
ripeness on a plot of old vines, in the locality "les Crayons", in
Chavot-Courtcourt
Palate:
·
Pure first taste thanks to the rigorous selection of
the first juices (cuvée) during the pressing of the grapes and an appropriate
dosage of the bottles at disgorgement, with 8g per liter of sugars added
·
Beautiful minerality, genuine guiding principle of the
tasting
·
The palate swiftly unveils a smooth and warm
roundness, result of a judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation and
of the long aging on laths (6 years) of the bottles before disgorgement,
perfectly controlled by its maker
·
Delicious bitter and spicy finish, supported by a
dense sparkling
· Very good length in the mouth
