Greenish yellow gold. Very fine, quickly rising bubbles. Delicate brioche hue, quite restrained on the nose with discreet citrus and peach aromas, but also with a slightly exotic component of passion fruit. Presented initially very puristic, with pronounced acidity and gripping, but harmonises very quickly in the glass and then appears much smoother. Some coffee in the finish. Very good length.

Straw yellow. Many small bubbles. Gorgeous multi-layered aroma of yeast pastry with candied lemon, yellow citrus, lemongrass, elderberry and concentrated sweet grapefruit. Hints of herbs and tropical fruit. Continues the taste experience conclusively on the tongue: again the aromas already perceived in the nose, embedded in a highly refined mousseux. Excellent length.

Full straw yellow. Very small, slowly rising bubbles. Fine yeast note, aromas of Williams pear and herbs, especially lovage. Full of character and certainly not Everybody's Darling. Some coffee on the palate. Excellent length.
