Description
This cuvée has a pale yellow robe and fine, sparkling foam. This is sweeter than the average but it so well balanced that you won’t notice and allow to have lovely mushroomy flavours coming out. And still It offers an intense and youthful nose with floral and citric aromas combined with a fine minerality as well. It is a full-bodied and well-rounded Champagne.
