The Character
Overall Vibrant & Creamy
Aromas green apple, apricot, citrus, toasted oak, honey
Mouthfeel Velvety & Fresh
Tasting Notes The nose develops fresh aromas of white fleshed fruits, with buttery notes quickly emerging to bring additional richness. The palate is soft, with a creamy and velvety texture accentuating the buttery sensations. White peach and apricot blend with more brioche-like notes. The finish is fresh, slightly mentholated and saline, distinctly evocative of the Côte des Blancs.
Pairings oysters, seared scallops, seafood risotto, grilled fish, soft cheeses
The Story
Winter and spring of 2016 were very rainy.Spring was particularly cool, leading to slowgrowth. The intense heat from late summer,from mid-August to mid-September, waswelcomed and helped bring this vintage tomaturity. “Août fait le moût” as the Frenchsaying says, meaning that august plays alwaysa key role in the quality of the juices.
