Appearance

Pale yellow hue, indicative of great freshness, with delicate bubbles.

Nose

Dominated by fresh aromas of fennel and star anise preceded by a touch of mint. As the wine warms, it reveals luscious aromas of poached pears, nougat and almonds.

Palate

Elegant on entry to the palate. A bouquet of fresh fruit - mirabelle plums, rhubarb and Reinette apples - then emerges, offering a lovely density on the mid-palate. The finish is well-honed, fresh and wonderfully tart. The fine bitterness that is the hallmark of the Grands Crus contributes to the elegant character of this wine.
