BLANC DE BLANCS
COMPOSITION
100% CHARDONNAY
COLOR
The lemon yellow hue of this vintage is nuanced with light green reflections. The strings of bubbles are released calmly and give birth to a fine cord. The presentation of this Champagne evokes serenity.
NOSE
Aromatic; at first comes up, distinguish aromas of pear and biscuit as well as a nice minerality. When aired, fine nuances of anise, pineapple, and ripe wheat, which adds add finesse and race. It is a complex nose, offering both fruit aromas, notes of cellar evolution, and aromas linked to aging in the bottle. After long minutes, the good resistance to the air of this Cuvée shows its good aging potential.
MOUTH
The attack on the palate is lively and is accompanied by a rather melted effervescence in the body of the wine. There is a perfect balance between freshness (very good acidity) and vinosity. This shows a beautiful structure and gives the wine a profile that is both broad and tense. From the mid-palate, light tannins appear which reinforce this impression. The finish is clean, lemony, and mineral. It leaves a feeling of freshness and youth with good length (8 seconds). This vintage still has a bright future ahead. Complex and structured, it shows a nice balance. Wide and taut, it presents itself crisp, pure and embellished with a very pleasant tender texture.

PINK-ROSÉ
COMPOSITION
40 % CHARDONNAY
30 % PINOT NOIR
30 % MEUNIER
COLOR
The eye is immediately drawn to the color of this wine. Salmon pink, adorned with copper reflections and animated by slow strings of bubbles, suggests pleasure.
NOSE
The first impression, classic for a rosé and of good intensity, is fruity (cherry, redcurrant) and floral. When aired, spicy aromas bring warmth and exoticism. The expression is crisp, precise, and very fine. It is a subtle nose with very good air handling.
MOUTH
The palate is supple and opens on a wine perfectly balanced between freshness and vinosity. The dosage tempers the beautiful acidity of the wine very well, while the fat and alcohol provide just the right amount of body. Some very soft tannins appear in the mid-palate and structure the wine until the finish. This is crisp, fairly long (about 6 seconds of persistence), and marked by the heat of the alcohol. We thus perceive nice aromas of sherry and kirsch. It ends all around.
