Compatibility
Pairs especially well with an aged cheese such as Comté, or with butter-poached lobster tail and hazelnut sauce.
Color
Intense golden color with coppery tones, with fine, elegant bubbles and a delicate mousse.
Scent
Great complexity, reminiscent of old Blanc de Blancs, with a wide range of aromas of caramelized nuts, candied fruits, dried spices, mocha and dried apricots, followed by notes of toasted bread, vanilla, brioche and tarte tatin. A subtle hint of anise lingers at the end.
Taste
An initial burst of freshness, with good concentration, meaty texture and creaminess. Balanced acidity with notes of Mirabelle, plum and marmalade. Layers of honeyed dried fruit and delicate brioche notes emerge, adding depth to the palate. The long finish is both refreshingly fresh and creamy, imparting a truly unrivaled sense of complexity and unusualness.
