This Champagne speaks to Bérêche's deft hand in the vineyards and the cellar. Deep golden yellow in color and boasting a super-fine bead, the aromas reveal themselves in stages of Braeburn apples, fresh mint, and laurel, followed by honeysuckle, orange zest, and candied ginger. The palate is round, broad, and electric with notes of peppermint, black tea, cardamom, and verbena that continues through to a anise, lemongrass, and tart green apple finish. Complex, to be sure, but light on the palate.
