Mostly made out of the millesime 2004, 17% reserve wine, bottled in 2007. Appearance: pale yellow with tiny and centered bubbles. Nose: Citrus (some kind of mandarin smell) and some wood Taste: sharp, still too much acidity for me, had one older millesime couple of days ago, was more "round" and finished (I always believe that champagne from the "grandes maison" should be kept a bit longer) Had it as in apéritif and continued with some scallop spaghettis with cherry tomatoes a bit of ginger and cilantro, was a very pleasant combination, would recommend it to any other fish.

Very vinous, this Champagne packs hazelnut, apple, lemon and mineral into a full-bodied, intense package, yet maintains a sense of gracefulness, with a fine, lingering aftertaste of walnut.
