Ayala
Brut majeur

medium bubbles, a nose of lemon and toast. Its crisp flesh expresses ripe, tangy fruit on the softly textured palate, with integrated dosage and a clean, medium-length finish. A very well-made brut, dominated by the lightness and freshness of the chardonnay.

Jacques Copin
CUVÉE TRADITION - BRUT

hints of viennoiseries and pastries dominate the nose. The palate develops more specifically on aromas of apple and pear tarts, refreshed by citrus fruits that give a balanced, fresh, sapid and long finish.

Fleury-Gille
ROSE D'ISPAHAN - SWEET
U
tender yet very balanced rosé, without any heaviness, to be reserved for a girly effect. A fine bitterness frames the whole.

he fine, abundant bubbles create a rhythmic effervescence. The ample nose reveals white fruit aromas punctuated by a hint of menthol. The attack is straightforward, followed by a rich, lively palate of brioche.
