Nose: A first intense nose with smoky, buttery and
vanilla notes which are a testimony to the oak cask fermentation. After a short aeration, notes of nuts hazelnut and taoasted almonds come through.
Palate: A smooth and round attack on the palate, generous and rich with notes of brioche and toast which
leads to fresh, citrus fruit aroma with a zest of agrumes and even bitter orange. You will then be seduced by an intense, long and powerful finish.
Food and wine pairing: A Champagne very structured and full of character. Can be served with scallops or white meat in creamy sauce, lightly-spiced with mushrooms.
