- Tasting note
- The moment you open this 2008 vintage, a special occasion in itself, it lives up to all expectations. A stream of delicate, persistent bubbles characteristic of Chardonnay runs through its sparkling golden robe with glints of green. Its nose, a true expression of the chalky soil from which it originates, gives it that very airy feeling and delicate tautness. At once focused, complex and restrained, the nose of this 2008 vintage carries us away on aromas of pear, lime, white pepper and orange blossom, cleverly combined with hints of liquorice and slightly toasted notes. The attack on the palate is vibrant, with great aromatic sophistication leading us to a persistent minerality and tautness. This is followed by a sensation of complex yet mellow freshness, creating the perfect balance between maturity and a full-rounded flavour. The finish offers a fine balance between sophistication and concentration: aromas of white fruits, grapefruit and mint combine in a delicately honeyed finish.
