A powerful French Champagne with a composition of 82% Chardonnay and 18% Pinot Noir grapes, the nose of this wine emanates lemon & lime citrus notes with added whiffs of white peach. On the palate, the fresh apple & pear notes are perfectly balanced out by a zesty acidity leading to a toasty brioche & hazelnut laced effervescent finish.
