Color: golden with copper highlights, fine and persistent bubbles. Nose: expressive, combining ripe red fruits, mirabelle plum and a delicate brioche note, typical of Pinot Noir from Aÿ. Palate: generous volume, with a silky, vinous texture supported by a well-balanced freshness. Long finish with hints of candied fruit and sweet spices. Pairing: roasted poultry with lemon and crunchy sesame vegetables. Comment: a Champagne with character, both generous and refined.
