Gault&Millau's review 2021

This magnum aged for 4 years, tasted in March 2017, will give this extra brut its full tasting potential. On opening, the nose expresses roasted mature fruit, roasted bitter orange zest and juicy pear. The palate is inviting and straightforward, led by a chalky, suave chewiness. Open as an aperitif or for any occasion.
