NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château de Boursault Brut Tradition Champagne offers a beautiful balance of enticing notes of fresh green apples, citrus zest, and a touch of brioche.These aromas create a sense of elegance and sophistication.
The palate of this Champagne is equally impressive. It showcases a lively and persistent mousse, with flavors of crisp apples, lemon curd, and hints of toasted almonds. The acidity is well-integrated, providing a refreshing and vibrant mouthfeel.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving you with a lingering impression of citrus and a subtle minerality.
