Tasting notes

A superb bright gold and a discreet nose announces notes of citrus, white flowers, acacia honey, sage and little red fruits. The balance between elegance, tension and minerality excites the taste buds. A pure and long finish is punctuated with a hint of bitterness. A very pure NON Dosed

Champagne to be enjoyed on its own or to be paired with oysters, urchins or seafood.
