Color: light gold with fine persistent bubbles. Nose: refined, with rose petals, peony and green hazelnut. Buttery and brioche notes on aeration. Palate: tangy fresh raspberries with vegetal nuances, slight bitterness on the finish bringing a second breath to the tasting. Pairing: yellow poultry and sautéed chard. Comment: superb, almost sensual texture, can age 20 years.
