A fine mousse and a lively stream of  delicate bubbles dance together against a yellow green background.

A panel of aromas come together to form a  broad bouquet : first grapefruit, then quince, mingle with aniseed and fennel, and evolve into richer, spicy notes of pepper, clove and cinammon.

On the palate, flavours of almond, of toast, and then  notes of vanilla and of butter, combine to soften the minerality of this fine blend.
The final balance is brought into perfect equilibrium by  the long and complex finish.
