The light lemon color, adorned with golden and green highlights, is bright and luminous, while the effervescence, regular and delicate, reveals fine, dynamic bubbles.
The nose reveals an elegant richness, dominated by aromas of wild strawberry, mango and exotic wood. After a few moments of aeration, nuances of fresh apricot and bergamot open up.
On the palate, the attack is marked by citrus notes, followed by an expressive core of yellow fruit aromas. The balance is perfect, with a long finish marked by yellow lemon zest. The final sensation, lively and slightly mineral, evokes grapefruit, leaving an impression of dynamic freshness.
Food pairings :
At the table, favor delicately textured dishes such as sole or turbot with short sauces, or shellfish such as oysters. This champagne can also be enjoyed as a refined aperitif.
