The nose is light, with floral, vanilla and white fruit notes. The palate is powerful and fruity, with aromas of apple, quince, pineapple and honey.
This fresh, gourmet Blanc de Noirs will work wonders as an aperitif with a delicious pâté en croûte, a nice slice of foie gras or a board of fine charcuterie such as andouille or jambon de pays.
