Tasting Sheet
BLANC DE BLANCS VINTAGE 2014
Characteristics
Visual aspect
The bubbles are particularly fine and dynamic; they testify to the optimal conditions for the fermentation.
The light gold color is enhanced with bronze and green reflections, typical of pure Chardonnays in their youth.
Olfactory appearance
The richness of this Blanc de Blancs is immediately obvious. It is based on candied citrus fruits: kumquat, candied orange or tangerine. Notes of quince paste and fresh honey complete the first nose.
Then, the olfactory development reveals a more sappy character with cedar, linden and fresh hazelnut.
Finally, a touch of melon refreshes and sublimates the whole.
Taste aspect
The palate begins with a fine smoky hint. This announces more power and minerality, revealing a chalky depth on a delicate body and a very airy thirst-quenching iodine tension.
Fresh citrus dominates while maintaining finesse and length.
