- Tasting Notes: On the eye: Bright and golden colours. The bubbles are tiny and very light, the result of long ageing.On the nose: Intense, fresh and slightly toasted. We are in the heart of the Bouzy terroir with notes of citrus and yellow fruit.On the palate: The attack is sharp, elegant and balanced. The bubbles are tiny and creamy.After early notes of apple and pear come notes of pastry, brioche, toasted bread and grilled almonds.
- Rating: Shows lovely balance, with a satiny quality to the refined mousse and mouthwatering acidity meshing with pure notes of poached quince, lemon mousse, white cherry and fresh ginger. Offers a lightly chalky finish. Disgorged January 2012. Drink now through 2020. 6,000 cases made. -ANRated #88 in Wine Spectator’s 2013 Top 100
