Tasting Notes

Nose / Aromatics:
The nose is fine and precise, offering aromas of lemon, green apple, and pear, complemented by floral notes, hints of flint, and a delicate chalky minerality.

Palate / Structure:
On the palate, the champagne is taut and chiselled, driven by a vibrant acidity and a fine, elegant mousse. The fruit is pure and luminous, supported by a chalky mineral backbone that brings precision and length. The texture is linear, saline, and beautifully pure.

Finish:
The finish is long and refreshing, marked by citrus fruit, a persistent chalky salinity, and a bright mineral energy that defines great Blanc de Blancs from the Côte des Blancs.
