The palate is fruity, fat, fine, elegant, ample, fresh, round and voluminous. The effervescence is very elegant, fine and relatively creamy. In the mouth this Champagne expresses notes of candied lemon and slight notes of zest associated with small notes of pineapple, quenette, lemon as well as touches of pear, mandarin and a slight hint of grapefruit. Good length.
