RENDEZ-VOUS N°4

To the eye: The luminous golden yellow colour is brilliantly brilliant, giving way to fine, persistent bubbles.

On the nose: A sensory development based on distinguished aromatic florality, a symbol of great fruit minerality (jasmine, fresh pineapple and buttered brioche). A sensual, tapering definition based on white pome fruit (tart pear, medlar). This is the perfect expression of Chardonnay, subtly disciplined by meticulous maturation on the lees.

On the palate: The tactile sensation of captivating tension dominated by a chalky, seductive imprint (Menton lemon, blood orange and hazelnut powder). Radiant complexity with a touch of the salinity characteristic of the great terroirs of the Côte des Blancs. A delicate finish with hints of bergamot and almond milk.

RENDEZ-VOUS CINQ

To the eye: Sparkling, luminous visual pleasure, defining a golden yellow hue with lively, sparkling, patinated reflections. The bubbles are extremely fine, dynamic and streamlined.

On the nose: A certain aromatic freedom with infused floral sensations (lime blossom and verbena) woven around a refinement of crisp fresh fruit (mandarin and greengage). It will awaken your senses to pure nuances ranging from pulpy fruit to citrus zest. A very delicate blend in which the expression of Pinot Noir is subtly revealed through its terroir DNA.

On the palate: Remarkably full-bodied, with an elegant interpretation of creamy fruit (limoncello, crushed almonds and light tobacco). The perfect sensation of an accomplished pleasure index defining a mid-palate stretched towards a deep, controlled distinction (stone fruit, cherry, blueberry, apricot flesh and fresh figs).
