Excellent white frothy mousse which once dissipated reveals a pale straw base wine colour with an exceptionally fine bead that shows excellent persistence. Pronounced aromas of baked bread, cashew, toast and yeast lees arise from the glass followed by some faint citrus notes. Full and rich with a creamy mouthfeel, this a Champagne of superb persistence and concentration featuring yeast autolysis characters, baked bread, cashew, toast and biscuity almond like flavours. Dry finish with clean crisp acidity. Very long aftertaste of baked bread, yeast lees, toast and cashew. Limited Stocks
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
