Color: light yellow with bright vivid reflections. Nose: elegant and refined, with creamy profile, pistachio, almond, orange, mandarin, peach, quince, candied strawberry, linden and rose, evolving to gentle spices. Palate: supple, fruit-forward, juicy and saline. Fine balance, tangy melting finish, with chalky and lightly spicy return. Pairing: seared scallops with yellow turnips and samphire. Comment: a racy and very elegant Champagne.
