Color: deep gold with bright highlights. Fine, abundant bubbles. Nose: ripe yellow fruits, pear, mirabelle plum, brioche, toasted bread, fresh hazelnut and butter. With aeration, notes of honey, dried fruits and sweet spices appear. Palate: broad and rich. Freshness perfectly balances the wine's vinous character. The finish is long, elegant and gently saline, supported by beautiful minerality. Pairing: skate in cream sauce. Comment: a magnificent vintage with a generous and profound personality.
