Champagne

France,
Champagne,
Medium deep golden with a mature yet lively mousse. Good layers and depth, combining chalk, ripe citrus and lemongrass with raspberry, ginger, plum and autolytic, brioche, nougat and roasted hazelnut notes. The palate boasts a fine concentration with fine extract and a lively acidity, layered with elegant fruit, no oxidation or oak a very pure style with the power of pinot and freshness of chardonnay with both chalk and earthy notes with patisserie and lush toasted notes perfectly balanced dosage on the drier side with a mild creaminess and long vigorous finish. Elegant and powerful.
