Color: pale yellow with gold and green highlights. Fine bubbles. Nose: brioche and honeyed notes, lifted by a touch of white fruit and citrus. Palate: remarkable attack, elegant and balanced, with lovely substance, a fine texture and precise freshness, carried through to a persistent, refined finish. Pairing: wild sea bass carpaccio with yuzu zest and caviar. Comment: a cuvée combining complexity and freshness, with 10 years of ageing potential.
