Nose
When charm combines with freshness, we get this tasty blend of fresh fruit, cherry, morello cherry, strawberry and raspberry, combined with white fruit aromas such as peach and pear. This rosé champagne gives a wonderful sensation of gourmandise and aromatic finesse.

The attack is supple and intense on the fruit. A marvellous gourmandise that will charm you with its surprising lightness and its invigorating delicacy, to be recommended as an aperitif or with oven-roasted meats.

Tasting
Appearance
Nose
Palate
This wine has a light gold color with numerous fine bubbles.
Fruity notes of candied apricots and fruit paste are accompanied by subtle aromas of almonds. The nose of this cuvée is expressive and very fruity, offering a racy, full-bodied champagne.
Fresh attack; freshness that is maintained throughout the tasting. The palate is in continuity with the nose, with notes of almonds and pastries reminiscent of apricot tart . The body and structure reveal a generous, tannic and rich champagne. A cuvée to be recommended without hesitation as an aperitif or with raw fish or shellfish.
