A Champagne full of brightness and purity. Composition: Its innovating style remains faithful to the balanced charm of the three varietals from Champagne: 40% Pinot Meunier, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. No sugar has been added to the dosage. Appearance: Pale and gold intensity enhanced by pure brightness. The mousse is energetic with an abundant ultra fine bubble. Aroma: Complex and seductive aromas of dried fruits and brioche combined with floral notes. This is further enhanced by the subtle charm of lemon verbena. A precise, elegant and aromatic freshness accentuated by the expression of the quality of the composition. Palate: Charming biscuity flavour and white fruits with a full and harmonious minerality resulting in a sensational balanced finish.

94pts James Suckling

“Superfine citrus-tinged aromas here that give way to more rich stone fruits then red berries; the purity is striking. Minerally accents like crushed rocks, plus dried wild flowers too. The palate’s boldly flavored, the concentration is impressive and the energetic drive of acidity is a thrill – long strawberry and red cherry flavors amid some gentle biscuity, red-fruited notes to close. Drink now. (07/15)”

93pts Wine Enthusiast

“Although it is labeled Extra Brut, this wine doesn’t feel so dry. The ripe texture and juicy red apple flavors give it a richness and density that balances the low dosage. With its crispness, this is a great food wine rather than an apéritif. The bottling will benefit from aging nine months from purchase. (12/15)”
