A Canvas of Aromas and Flavors

The champagne greets the senses upon the first pour with a luminous lemon-yellow hue and a dance of fine, tonic bubbles. The nose opens with a delicate floral bouquet of white flowers and tulips, weaving in zesty layers of lemon peel, lime, and ripe citrus. This fruity ensemble is gracefully accented by a diverse palette of apple, pear, and pineapple, with quince jelly adding a sweet contrast. Smoky notes, anise, and a hint of lavender honey add complexity and allure to the aromatic profile. The palate is caressed by a creamy texture, revealing citrus, lime, and juicy pineapple flavors, complemented by crisp apples, smoky undertones, and a savory hint of sea salt. A finishing stroke of honey leaves a lasting impression, making this cuvée genuinely unforgettable.
