Short description

Limited quantities! Bottling 05/2015 of 1,500 bottles.

Les Courtisols is a Champagne that perfectly combines power and delicacy. His freshness sensation allows various shapes of harmonic food research
Tasting

The Champagne displays a luminous and fairly fluid, pale yellow-gold color with deep green-yellow highlights in the glass. It is crossed by fine and vivid bubbles providing for a persistent collar. The visual sensation indicates both freshness and full of nuances.

The first nose expresses the fruity ripeness of the vintage. It evokes notes of apricot, plum, lemon, cherry, almond, pear, pomelo. When aerated it evolves towards notes of iodine and Carensac liquorice typical of chalk, accompanied by fragrances of honeysuckle, buttercup and fresh rose, compote of quince, vine peach, with accents of anise and verbena.

The contact in the palate is net and fresh with a creamy and melted effervescence. The Champagne develops a pulpy and fleshy fruity matter, highlighted by an acidity reminding those of lemon and pink grapefruit.
The middle mouth is orchestrated by clayey-chalk minerality that provides frankness, fruity volume, saltiness and enhances the body of Pinot Noir.
The refined dosage enhances the sharpness of the wine while letting an iodine breeze develop in the palate, and accompany the fruity richness towards a crisp and salty finish that presents character, elegance and freshness.
