The Champagnes appearance is full of life, rich in colour & pink with orange tints. On the nose it is very complex & reminiscent of small red wild fruits. The aromatic structure is very subtle & built up around the Pinot Noir grape. On the palate it shows off its powerful structure, with a remarkable length & delicious fruit overtones. Please note: All bottles feature minor wear & tear due to their age.
