Lightly toasty on the nose with green apples, jasmine and white blossom characters. In the mouth there is a soft, delicate, lightly creamy mousse and flavours of toasted brioche spread with honey. The texture is full and oily but the acidity is refreshing enough to carry it through. The dosage feels fairly high as there is a rich sweet sensation. Coming from fairly flat vineyards on flint soils, the vines are actually located in the Touraine area, east of Azay le Rideau. The estate was sold to Champagne house Deutz in 1973 and then again in 2002 to the current owners. Marielle Henriolle takes the reins here, having cut her teeth in Champagne at the likes of Pommery and Bollinger.
