Tasting :
The yellow colour, with copper tints, is shiny and intense.
This Champagne has fine and delicate Bubulles, and gives on the nose already a complexity.
On the palate, it has a focused fruity caractere because of the Meunier : it is smooth even if it’s a Brut.
This cuvée developed some Peach, and almond flavours. It’s well balanced with citrus flavours.
