TO THE EYE: PALE GOLD
The pale gold colour of Rare Millésime 2012 gleams in the glass. Its bubbles are elegant and fine.
ON THE NOSE: RICH AND COMPLEX
The rich aromas of the first nose suggest delicious overtones of brioche, almond, mango, guava and bergamot. After a hint of heady florals (lilac), the nose develops spiced notes (honey, black tea, white pepper, incense and smoke).
ON THE PALATE: CONCENTRATED, FLAVOURFUL AND INFINITELY LONG
The delicious mouthfeel is tangy and juicy. Citrus fruits emerge through an extremely silky texture. The exceptional length of the saline, mineral finish seems infinite.
