A dry wine with high acidity and a creamy mousse.
The alcohol level is medium and the body is full.
A pronounced flavour of mixed dried fruits, (mostly Peach) ripe lemon, yellow apple (baked) and floral notes in the back. Heavy and complex full autolytic spectra of flavours.
The wine has a long complex finish with obvious minerality and practically no bitterness at all.
In conclusion the wine is of excellent quality. Due to an massive body and flavour intensity with a complex aromatic spectra, ranging from fresh fruit, dried fruits, flowers, minerality and impressive autolysis. It’s fascinating how a wine this concentrated still can feel elegant and still can show a lively fresh acidity. One of the best Champagnes I ever tested!
The wine is ready to drink, but can easily develop for a minimum of 20 Years.
