TASTING NOTES

Appearance: At first sight, vibrant luminosity and an intense golden colour redolent of ripe wheat.

Aroma: On the nose, delicate aromas of citrus, barley sugar and dried fruits with balance and freshness

Taste: On the palate,  it is generous and round with beautiful intensity. Initial hints of madeleine cake and brioche give way to notes of pastry, tarte tatin, lemon meringue, bitter orange and a little spice. The finish is long, with great tension and notes of candied ginger.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Pairs beautifully with fish or shellfish dishes such as fillet of flounder in a saffron sauce, zander with beurre blanc, seared scallops or tuna carpaccio. It may also be enjoyed with delicately flavoured meat dishes such as blanquette de veau.

ORIGIN

Reims, Champagne France
