Tasting Notes

Nose: "On the nose there are notes of citrus, lightly toasted aromas, orange madeleine and the menthol signature of this small plot."

Palate: "On the palate there is citrus in all its forms and grapefruit skin give way to ripe and candied citrus flavors and notes of barley sugar, with a delightful bitterness. This champagne is elegant and chiseled, all the while silky and generous."
