Aroma
The nose releases sweet notes
of gingerbread, black fruits, cherry and acacia flowers intermingled with seductive
aromas of tangerine peel and subtly combined with slight touches of mint, liquorice
and sweet spices (turmeric, saffron) to add energy to this wine.
Appearance
This 2011 vintage is cloaked in a beautifully coloured robe of vivid pink gold.
Some shimmering red hues highlight the extreme finesse and delicacy of the
effervescence.
Palate
On the palate, the delicately fruity, fine and precise attack gives way to the perception
of a silky and radiant tannic structure, revealing the full power of the limestone
Grand Crus terroirs from which it heralds. This extraordinary vintage reflects the
optimum ripeness of the Chardonnay and is built on a chalky and mineral structure
unique to Comtes de Champagne, lending it great aromatic finesse and a unique
strength of character, between salty freshness and an abundance of fruit.
Food Matching
An exceptional apéritif, it will act as the perfect
accompaniment to fresh, delicate and balanced dishes.
