| TASTING NOTE: [translated from the French] Their Grande Cuvée ... comes in a beautiful pale colour streaked with emerald and lively, fine bubbles. The elegant bouquet opens with white flowers followed by scents of pear and peach. The palate is distinguished by its size, its finesse, and vivacity which gives it a lot of pep and length. Perfect for shellfish. Score - 1 Stars (out of 3 (Very well-made)) (Guide Hachette, 2014) |
