An agreement that has elegance and character. Both in terms of aroma and mouthfeel. The powdery texture of buckwheat and the gentle sweetness of the tuile specify the bubbles of this 2006 Lalou vintage. An interesting agreement that evolves between the balance of the crunchiness of the tuile, the cottony smoothness of the fig compote and the marked amplitude of the vintage’s aromas. The touches of Ylang-Ylang delicately bring out the floral notes brought by the Pinot Noir in this subtly mastered blend.
