Composition : Exclusively "grand cru" Chardonnay, 50 % coming from the "Côte des Blancs" with a predominance of Cramant and the remaining 50 % coming from the "Montagne de Reims". - Visual aspect : A very bright golden yellow. Good brilliance (slightly lemon), very fine bubbles forming a fine, lasting ring of beads around the glass. - Aromas : A very floral nose with notes of mainly linden, hawthorn, dried roses, hallmark of great finesse and subtlety. High olfactory intensity, elegant and distinguished. - Taste : Vigorous and lively on the palate, a well balanced feminine wine, full of freshness and finesse. Complex notes of dried fruits very full on the palate, well sustained finish. A great champagne coming from a great vintage.
