Bright, pale yellow, with white gold glints & a very fine bubble. The nose is delicate, but still very expressive with wonderful aromatic freshness with notes of pomelo, white fruits, lime tree, frangipani flowers, & delicate hints of pineapple & ginger. This wine is striking, yet voluptuous & vibrant, showing a silky texture with a lively edge, & finishing with a balanced bittersweet flavour. It releases notes of passion fruits, citrus fruit, ripe white fruit such as vine peaches, & subtle notes of acacia honey that bring a velvety sensation. The long finish is tightly wound on the pure line of characteristic chalky minerality for which the Cte des Blancs is famous.
