"Light, bright gold. Musky, spice-accented aromas of dried pear, redcurrant and rhubarb, with toasty lees and citrus pith nuance emerging with air. Gently chewy in texture, offering sappy pear and bitter orange flavors that are given a creamy quality by a note of sweet butter. The redcurrant comes back on the long, stony, subtly smoky finish. This Champagne has the body to work with richer foods but comes off dry enough to serve by itself."
