Features of this prestigious “Champagne Blanc de Blancs SALON”
The organoleptic exam shows the unicity of this Champagne. Straw yellow colour with faint and persistent perlage. Its perfume recalls floral hints, citrus fruits, minerals and, after a while, it turns to hazelnuts and mature yellow fruits. The taste is powerful, elegant and full of fruity sensations.

Fabulous for great happenings. It is perfect with oysters and crustaceans like crab and lobster. Excellent also with caviar. It has to be served at 10°C in a high, tapered wine glass.
