Tasting Note -
Hue - Illuminated by a pale gold colour and straw yellow shimmer. Fine and lively bubbles contribute to its charm.
Nose - The nose is elegant and complex, with fruity aromas of mandarin, fresh apple and quince jelly, with hints of raspberry and limestone minerality opening out to toasted almonds, saffron and ripe pineapple.
Palate - A fine and creamy mousse delights the palate, with fresh acidity, a soft mouth feel and gourmet exotic fruit flavours. Long finish iwth ethereal flavours of mandarin and cassis.
Cellar - 3-5 years
Serving Suggestions - The freshness of the Delaplace Champagne stimulates the taste buds and makes it the ideal aperitif.
