Tasting Notes:

A light yellow colour with delicate beading. The 2006 shows a delicate, subtle nose with aromas of fresh pineapple, dried apricots and almonds.

In the mouth a very pleasant, rounded attack, followed by a marked sense of balance, with a lively finish offering hints of white peach and mirabelle.

Recommended serving temperature is between 9C and 11C.

Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims: Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Louvois, Bouzy and Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs: Chouilly, Cramant, Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger.

Vintage 2006:

The 2006 Chardonnays were richly complex and aromatic (white fruits, citrus, white flowers, etc.), endowing the wines with elegance and delicacy.

Well-balanced and rounded, they offered considerable ageing potential, ensuring that most were ideal for use in a vintage cuvée. The Pinots Noirs were outstandingly rich, marked by hints of berry fruit and cherry combined with robust body and complexity.

Pairing with food:

The Vintage 2006 pairs harmoniously with fish in sauce, while its roundness and delicacy will prolong your tasting pleasure in the company of poultry or other white meats.
