Tasting notes
This Champagne unveils a symphony of toasted hazelnut, plum, grapefruit, and quince compote. Delicate whispers of acacia honey and brioche. Extended aging lends a velvety, creamy texture to the palate, while the low dosage unveils a pure expression of minerality and a delicate touch of salinity.
