Tasting
The cuvee Blanc de Blancs of the Champagne House COURTOIS has a dense and glossy dress with light golden yellow color and bright straw yellow highlights. It is animated by fine and delicate bubbles which sustain a persistent collar. The visual sensation announces a rich and fresh wine.
The initial impression on the nose evokes mineral scents of stony limestone mixed with notes of brioche bread, lemon heart and apple. An aeration of the Champagne reveals notes of fresh butter, chanterelle, candied pear, candied grape, accentuated by anise, green tea and chamomile fragrances.
On the palate, the approach is smooth and fresh with a creamy and melted effervescence. The Champagne develops a fruity mature and pulpy material supported by a fresh and lemony acidity. The mid-palate is orchestrated by a limestone minerality taste that gives magnitude, an adapted dosage gives chew and an intact creamy caress. The whole is slender, rich with tactile and aromatic nuances, leaving an ultimate melting sensation, delicious and iodized.
