Merchant's description

This Champagne is crystal-clear in colour, with bright yellow hues. On the nose, there are aromas of apricot pastries, orange zest and mango, followed by more pronounced notes of vanilla, toast and Oriental spices. The complex bouquet of spices leads to a delicate, long finish. Opulent, rich and intense, Rare is a testament to this sunny vintage resulting in a Champagne with great concentration. Feature(s): Vegetarian, Vegan Winemaker: Régis Camus Alcohol (ABV): 12 % Residual sugar: 8.5 g/l
