Cuvée JL tasting notes :
To the eye
The champagne has a deep pale yellow golden colour, with brilliant golden yellow glints that give depth to the flute. Fluid in appearance, it is filled with delicate, light bubbles that create a delicate bead.
To the nose
The first nose reveals yellow flowers, honey, hot butter, mocha, Tatin apple, candied peach, orange and frangipane almond. Aeration of the wine gives it more light hints of mint and white pepper, sweet spices, candied mango and tangerine. A thorough aeration reveals the richness of the wine with aromas of candied citrus zest, sweet almond, roasted pineapple abd apple brandy.
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 tropical fruit reminiscent of yellow peach, tangerine and sweet almond, with a sweet and integrated acid structure. The velvety and delicate finish echoes aromas of dried fruit, tangerine, iodine and orange, with a long tactile resonance, both fresh and delicious on the palate.
