Some light oak influence here, adding depth and complexity. This has aromas of lime zest, lemon and yellow grapefruit with wild red cherries and nicely placed biscuit-like savory aromas - young but inherently complex. The palate's full of flavor and builds well with flavors of dried lemon pith, grapefruit and white cherry; acidity is a feature and the finish holds deep and flavorsome.

From a strict selection of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay plots, this brut champagne – aged 5 years – blends together several vintages. Fresh and creamy, Cuvée D will please even the most experienced connoisseurs.

A nice gold yellow colour with a delicate and persistant mousse. White blossom and soft spices appear first on the nose, mellowed by notes of toasted brioche and vanilla on the finish. The smoothness of Pinot noir and the elegance of Chardonnay. Freshness with mandarine and orange zest notes. A deliciously fresh and creamy champagne of great persistence.
