Generosity and roundness characterize the 2012 vintage: little berries, apple tart, plum and dried fruit notes melt to form a complex and engaging nose.
Straight without being too sharp, the attack leads to a rich and vinous midpalate: freshness and vinosity balance harmoniously along with the creaminess of the bubbles. The ending extends on a delicate mineral sensation, a signature of the chalky terroir.
