Tasting notes
Forty years of patience have sculpted a champagne of extraordinary complexity. The nose is an intricate interplay of mirabelle plum, dried pineapple and fresh quince, brightened by hints of ginger and bergamot tea. On the palate, smoky accents of coffee beans and toast meet the wine’s signature minerality, culminating in a refined, lingering finish.
