"The Blanc de Noirs 2015 is described as an impressive champagne, showcasing a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, hints of citrus, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with layers of raspberry, cherry, and a touch of spice. The wine's texture is creamy and luxurious, balanced by a crisp acidity that adds freshness and structure. The finish is long, elegant, and marked by a persistent minerality."
