golden peach and pineapple
partly in small wooden barrels (barrique and tonneau barrels) and partly in large wooden barrels
it is dominated by flinty stones and chalk typical of fine Sancerre wines
morish mouthful with on point acidity
polite rather than voluptuous
Domaine De Marzilly Champagne Ullens Lot 7 2007 Size::6 Bottle Case golden peach and pineappleA complex, subtle nose, with floral and toasted notes, evolving on ripe fruit aromas (apple, pear, peach, apricot). The palate is dynamic and fresh on the attack, followed by the fruity aromas of the nose. The whole is very well balanced, very fine with a slight hint of butter and vanilla brought by the barrels. The finish is very long, tasty, with a persistent sapidity. A perfect Champagne as an aperitif or to accompany a fish with a buttered sauce.
