Iridescent yellow colour with slightly amber highlights.
Lively bubbles, with a creamy‚ flow.
An intense bouquet developing spicy and sweet aromas (cedar, cigar box) combined with juicy ripe fruit (yellow peach) and chocolaty hints. Almost overwhelmingly, the nose reveals all the riches of «roast» fruit, concentrated and browned in the sun of 2005.
The mouth is round and gentle, both rich and dense, with an unctuous, fruity texture. the ripeness of the fruit is clear; syrupy and penetrating. You find yourself suddenly translated into superb gardens, strolling amid a riot of scented ‚flowers, divinely refreshed by firm, strong, mineral acidity.
This 2005 Vintage Brut, with its perfect balance between concentration and freshness, softness and minerality, displays quite rare elegance and raciness, accompanied by avery long-lasting finish – promising fine years of ageing. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon.
