This new vintage from the Pascal Lejeune estate captivates from the very first whiff, with its intense, complex, and delicate aroma. Aging the still wine in barrels for a few months lends it a rounder texture while preserving the freshness and minerality of a Champagne. Its fruity and generous palate, with dominant notes of mandarin and spices (cinnamon, ginger), makes it a true gourmet Champagne.
