Characteristics : 
Mature and silky
Rather rich and gourmet wine profile with notes of candied fruit, honey and spices.
Prolonged aging on lees brings a notion of richness to this wine. Generous cuvée showing the evolution of a pretty Blanc de blancs born from Grand Cru.
The mouth is enveloped thanks to the autolysis of the lees and the mineral and chalky frame is expressed in length. A small amount of sugar at disgorgement balances the substance of the wine and gives it solidity.

Food & wine pairing : 
Aperitif wine which will also accept fish with a light sauce or even scallops.
