A medium straw yellow colour, the warm vintage 2006 reveals a first nose of ripe fruit, apple tart, yellow plums, honey, ginger bisquits and a whiff of freshly cut mushrooms. Constantly evolving in the glass, notes of mandarine, pear, cardamom and almonds follow on the palate. The mousse is lively, mouthfeel creamy and supported by a backbone of crisp acidity which persists in the citrussy, mineral finish
