Bright pale yellow color. Freshness associated with minerality first appear. Then fruitiness settles with fragances of ripe yellow fruits (apricot, peach). They are underlined with a hint of licorice or even fennel, a typical feature of fine Pinots Noirs from the Montagne de Reims. The palate is round, smooth, and bright. The texture oscillates from roundness / vinosity to freshness / minerality (chalky) on the palate. The finish is slightly saline and gives an everlasting quality to this wine.
