Aroma subdued, but evocative of rich, sweet melon with a hint of perfume.
The wine has a creamy texture which makes a surprisingly pleasant complement to the usual sharp acidity of Brut champagne. On the palate it lacks the usual distinctive biscuit flavours but compensates with good fruit - apple, pear and melon all jostling for position on the tongue and outlasting the acidity into a medium length finish.
