Tasting
Appearance
Beautiful effervescence, a clear and intense pink colour
Nose
Fresh and appealing, the aromas in this wine create a delicious blend of fresh fruit – cherry, even morello, strawberry and raspberry – and white fruit aromas such as white peach and pear. The aromatic complexity of this rosé champagne promises a wonderful sensation on the palate
Palate
The attack is supple and intense, very fruit-forward. Its lightness and delicate character is both surprising and deliciously invigorating. Best served as an aperitif or with roasted meats

Appearance
Nose
Palate
This wine has a pale gold colour with pearlescent glints. A creamy and generous foam.
A delicate nose underscored by notes of pear, white fruit, pastries and baked goods, with a hint of vanilla and toast. Fine and delicate.
A fresh, crisp attack that builds to flavours of juicy pear, plump fruit and cake dough. The full mouthfeel is followed by a lively and zesty finish. This is a fresh, mellow champagne with subtle oak influences that enhance its richness and ample volume while retaining the energy of Chardonnay.
