Careful and traditional
presentation.
Aspect :
·
Pale gold.
·
Fine
bubbles.
·
Delicate bead of bubbles,
persistent on the periphery of the flute after service.
Nose :
·
Intense
and complex, thanks to the perfect control of the selection of the juices
during the solft pressing of the grapes.
·
Initially dominated by red
fruits, generous, with some hints of strawberry, red currant, black currant,
enhanced by subtle spices (cinnamon and vanilla), thanks to the Pinot Noir
(70%) and the Pinot Meunier (15%).
·
The Chardonnay (15%) is then
revealed, with some aromas of apple, pear, almond, hazelnut, apricot, grape and
white flowers.
·
Patience is rewarded by the
appearance of sensual hints of honey, caramel and pastries, expressions of the
emerging maturity of the Cuvée.
Palate :
·
Balanced and
tasty attack.
·
The mouth then becomes ample and dense, allowed by the
judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the basewines, enhanced
by a refined effervescence, and by a gentle minerality signature of the terroirs of the Côte des Bar.
·
Deliciously acidulous finish, reinforced by the light
dosage with only 6 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement, and underlined by a
delicious bitterness.
·
Good length on the palate.

Tradition, Guillaume Phélizot, winemaker, was able to blend with joy the

blended Champagne with a good value for money.
