Tasting
This Champagne distinguishes itself by combining delicacy, purity and finesse. The pale yellow colour with emerald green highlights an elegant effervescence. The mineral and iodine nose opens with white flowers and a citrus cocktail. The palate is straight, chalky and intense, always carried by a chiselled texture and a long and saline finish.
Food pairings
Carpaccio of scallops, Fillet of sea bream with caviar, Risotto of lobster velouté and porcini mushrooms, Granité of pears with marrons glacés
