Cuvée of 70 % Auxerrois and 30 % Chardonnay, disgorged in December 2020. Golden yellow. Very fine, slowly rising bubbles. Yeasty, slightly honey-spicy nose with clear scent of Williams pear. On the tongue with fine, elegant mousseux, honeydew melon, pear again and an herbaceous touch reminiscent of sage. Next to it a hint of roasted coffee bean. Animating and surprisingly fresh. Excellent length.

Disgorged in February 2021. Full straw yellow with white gold. Fine, quickly rising bubbles. Yeasty nose with a fine autolysis touch. Scents of pear, fresh fig and dried fruits, here especially apricot and plum. For all its aromatic richness on the nose, highly refined and elegant on the tongue, with a light creaminess, ripe and well-integrated acidity and excellent length. Very persistent.

Copper coloured rosé. Quickly rising bubbles. Red-fleshed scent of cherry with a hint of vanilla. In the mouth dense and opulent fruit. Demanding, with fine, light tannins. Ethereal component with hints of mint. Excellent length. Sophisticated food companion.
