Champagne

How to marry minerality and the sweetness of a candied fruit, this is it ! Is is very subtle and allowed by a long change step by step in the mouth. It is quite difficult to describe with words… really an experience to sip.

Pungent yeast, chalk and wet rocks in the mineral dominant nose along with floral dewdrops. Big rich apple flavors with succulence, vibrant citric acidity and lots of minerality. Bold and glossy with nervy energy

2011 Masters of Wine Champagne Tasting (San Francisco, CA): A top value in vintage Champagne! Light golden color. Incredible nose! Rich, toasty, oaky aromas. Full-bodied apple, lemon, vanilla, spicy palate. Incredibly rich. Long finish. Offering a fantastic value – the one of the finest values in vintage Champagnes that I’ve come across and a mind-blowing value when priced around $60. Among my top Champagnes of the evening – rich and immensely enjoyable
