Attractive nose of caramelised apples, dried apricots, pastries, shortbread, praline and some roasted vanilla bean. Some saline notes, too. Medium-to full-bodied with bright acidity and silky bubbles. Sleek and well integrated.
From a strict selection of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay plots, this extra-brut champagne blends together several vintages and is aged 5 years. With a low dosage, the Ultra D is the alter-ego of the Cuvée D in all its purity. Mineral and saline, you will be astonished by the Ultra D.
Gold yellow colour. Fine mousse with a lovely lace. Fresh aromas and superb minerality with a touch of crisp salinity, moving to white flower and spicy notes. Wonderful vivacity and excellent length on the palate.
