NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Stéphane Coquillette Les Clés Blanc de Noirs exudes sophistication with its fine, vivacious bubbles and golden hue.On the nose, it offers a bouquet of ripe apples, pears, and a hint of brioche, indicative of its time spent on the lees. The palate is greeted with a creamy texture and a cascade of stone fruit and citrus flavors, balanced by a backbone of minerality and a lively acidity. Notes of toasted almond and a subtle spice linger on the long, clean finish. This Champagne is a harmonious blend of power and elegance, capturing the essence of its noble origins.
