Olfactory analysis
The first nose is intense, with buttery brioche, honey, nutmeg, pear, hints of dried flowers and raisins notes. Gradually, deeper aromas emerge, reminiscent of earthy notes.
During aeration, other fragrances such as nougat, iodine, quince paste and tobacco happily unfold.
The wine expresses itself like a "bouquet", with complexity and finesse.

Taste analysis
The full, soft attack on the palate is immediately caressing.
The wine's rich expression is followed by a beautiful consistency and an acidic structure that revives the effervescence.
It is both round and dynamic, dense and well-balanced, with a dense, enveloping texture like cashmere.
The final
The finish is harmonious with over ten seconds of persistence. Delicately fresh and saline, we can taste aromas of brioche, apricots and grapes.
