Light golden colour with a slight copper hue and delicate veil of fine bubbles. Pure, intense and complex nose blending high ripeness with raspberry, mango, peach and rather lush fruit, yet with earthy chalky notes, hazelnut, ripe citrus and grape, enveloped by sweet pastry and nougat. The palate certainly defines full-bodied with good layers and inherent power, some Burgundian Pinot notes of confit apricot and raspberry, mild oak underneath, good proportions between dosage and acidity leaving a ripe, yet fresh impression with nicely balanced creaminess, fine extract, with a lot of nuttiness, autolytic pastry notes and a very long muscular finish.
