A blend of 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier. Traditional Champenoise Method, 60 months on the lees. A bright straw-yellow color and very fine, slow and continuous effervescence. The bouquet has an excellent complexity with notes of flint, white flowers and gooseberry with a hint of green plum. The delicious mouthfeel is composed and agile with a very creamy effervescence and excellent, refreshing acidity that gives it an irresistible and pleasing drinkability and perfectly balances the body which has an excellent texture, making the whole taste very harmonious. The aftertaste has an impressive persistence.
This is without a doubt one of the best versions in recent years but perhaps needs to age for a few more months, even if it is already very drinkable and extremely satisfying.
