“Serious and enthralling with luscious yellow and red apple fruit encased in a savoury brioche structure, with lifted lemon peel acidity and a great humming length.”
“I like the toastiness of this savory, flavorful Champagne, showing dried flower, gingerbread, brioche, berry and oyster shell aromas. A hint of pralines, too. It’s layered with a medium body, fine bubbles and a long, silky finish.”
“This toasty Champagne features flavors of lemon curd, brioche, glazed apricot and vanilla-infused pastry cream riding a fine, lively mousse. Well-meshed and creamy, animated by vibrant acidity through the spiced finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2034. 300 cases imported.”
