A deep golden robe marked by a delicate, orchestrated, and persistent effervescence, the result of a slow and long maturing process in chalk Cellars. The 50% reserve wines give an elegant nose: freshly baked brioche, roasted notes, and ripe, sun kissed fruits- mango, apricot, mirabelle plum- as well as dried fruit, pistachio, and almond. The texture evokes the crunch of a layer of nicotine on a melting cream, with fleshy fruits, plums, and cherries. The smoothness is provided by the selection of reserved wines. The finish reveals amber and vanilla notes as well as a touch of praline.
