[English] Made from 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay. Golden color with exquisite sparkle and very nice mousse. In the aroma we get butter and earth tones followed by ripe citrus fruit, white nectarine, blood orange, kumquat and yeast. A second glass revealed a beautiful red fruits Pinot Noir character. The mouthfeel is smooth and unctuous. The attack is soft with smokey touches and round fruit character. On the palate we get the ripe citrus fruits, cherry, yellow napoleon candies with ephemeral roasted chestnut. The finish is long with a mild spiciness of mace, delicious melon but somewhat overripe citrus with oxalic acids. Excellent balance. An ideal easygoing party champagne.
Rating: 80/100
