The candied red and black

endless variation with the fine fragrances of white flowers, apple, pear and
candied citrus fruits, inimitable mark of the Chardonnay.
·
Later, the well-defined
maturity of the cuvée carries us,
with radiant aromas of brioche, honey, dark chocolate and roasted coffee,
result of 11 years of ageing on laths of the bottles in the freshness of the
deep chalk cellars of the House, at 12°C, before manual ridding and
disgorgement.
Palate :

Ample and sensual, close to the fullness at the
opening.

Robust and chiseled structure, underlined by the
vibrant minerality and enhanced by the finesse and the elegance.

Revealing the red fruits already perceived at the
nose, enhanced by the silky effervescence.

Fabulous length on the palate.
