Crystal-clear, bright golden yellow color. Aromas of pastry, citrus & orchard fruits intermix with malty hints that become mocha & bergamot. Subtle notes of melted butter & gentle spices. Ideal with hard cheeses, white meats, or mushrooms.
WINERY NOTES: "This unique cuvée, which is entirely vinified in oak, is composed of the three Champenois grape varieties. It totally masters the art of blending by renewing the ancestral spirit and savoir-faire of the original champagnes. Le Sous Bois offers a complex aromatic definition and a character linked to vinification in oak casks."
JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS - "Baked apples, peaches, cloves, honeycomb and freshly baked croissants on the nose. It's creamy and lightly honeyed on the palate, with richness yet brightness and layered, very fine bubbles. Silky finish."
WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "Fragrant, with hints of graphite, cherry blossoms and spices, revealing a firm frame of vivid acidity that's tightly meshed with flavors of blackberry tart, lemon granita and salted Marcona almond. Shows a raw silk–textured mousse that carries a chalky note on the finish. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay."
