This Champagne shows a brilliant straw yellow color and nuances of golden
yellow, very transparent, good effervescence, fine and persistent perlage.
The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and elegant aromas which start
with hints of yeast and bread crust followed by aromas of banana,
hawthorn, quince, brioche, litchi, pear, grapefruit, hazelnut and plum. In
the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a crisp and effervescent
attack, however well balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors,
agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of pear, plum, hazelnut
and grapefruit. This Champagne ages on its lees for 3 years.

Very appealing color of straw yellow and nuances of golden yellow, impeccable perlage.
Refined nose of bread crust and banana, including quince, exotic fruits (pineapple, lychee) and the usual buttery and croissant touch.
Lively mouth with a pleasing sparkling sensation, good acidity and pleasing mineral aftertaste.
