Cuvée Réserve tasting notes :
To the eye
The champagne has a pale yellow golden colour with a yellow-green hue, with light and deep lemon-yellow glints. It is filled with very fine bubbles that form a delicate bead.
To the nose
The first nose is pure, with hints of limestone, cream, iodine and lemon curd. When aired, it develops notes of lemon zest, almond, fresh hazelnut, white pepper, flint, tarragon, with hints of peppermint and ginger.
On the palate
The first impression is supple and fresh with a smooth, velvety effervescence. The wine develops on the palate with a burst of dried nuts (peanut, peeled almond, fresh hazelnut) and candied citrus fruits (lemon zest, yellow grapefruit), underpinned by a well-integrated lemony acidic structure. The slender finish is marked by an intense iodine aftertaste, with salinity and good, very airy plant bitterness.
