La Cuvée Initiation est un Champagne à la fois frais et enrobé, dont les nuances sapides et aromatiques permettent une dégustation gourmande et gastronomique. Le premier nez évoque des odeurs subtiles de noisette grillée, de torréfaction, de pomme caramélisée. A l’aération nous rencontrons des notes fumées, de mandarine, de cerise, de fraise des bois, de miel, et d’infusion de thé. Le Champagne développe une matière fruitée pulpeuse d’une grande envergure tactile, soutenue par une acidité de pomelo et de mandarine. La finale rayonne a avec persistance et profondeur, de manière aromatique, sapide et tactile. 2 000 bouteilles produites
