Claude Prieur – Millésime – 2006

Bright light golden colour with small fine bubbles. Intense nose, vinous slightly Sherry-like with a small hint of oak it seems, roasted nuts and spices paired with quite ripe fruit like apricot and pineapple. The palate is dense and finely creamy, a slight presence of oak, rather dry towards Extra Brut it feels, fresh acidity, lush yellow fruit and a long lingering finish. A vinous and nutty style with good freshness and bite.
