Commentaires de dégustation : Jolie robe jaune clair aux reflets verts. Nez net et fin, belle expression de cépage, notes florales, amande fraîche, fruits secs, fruits blancs, florales. En bouche, un Champagne qui séduit par sa fraîcheur et sa netteté aromatique. La texture est fine, Bel équilibre, ambiance fruitée bien présente. Excellent.
