Mid golden colour with a powerful hazelnut, biscuit character from autolysis on the nose. A rich style resulting from the dominance of Pinot Noir in the blend and a maximum dosage of 10g/l results in a serious wine; bubbles are fine and persistent lifting the fruit character on the palate. Ripe lemon acidity on the long finish balances the opulence of the style - a big champagne capable of withstanding richer food. Enamelled tin boxes are available for this Champagne.
