Tasting notes

Expressive and generous champagne as produced by the cru. Open nose with notes of candied fruit, lime and iodine representative of the chalky soils of Oger. Its mouth, structured, broad and powerful, still evokes citrus fruits. The very saline finish adds extra length to this very charming wine.
