Colour

: Light golden yellow with lively perlage.

Nose

The “Totem” Blanc has a thoroughly classic, yet subtly sweet, champagne nose. It smells of ripe lemons, a touch of lemon curd and puff pastry, almonds, and nuts, but also of stone, herbs, and crisp, ripe pome fruit. With exposure to air, the aromas change, and the champagne takes on notes of oxidative maturation, reminiscent of crumbly apples and a hint of Fino Sherry.

Palate

On the palate, the crumbly aromas combine with lemon and grapefruit peel. Here, too, there are hints of rock and herbs. The perlage is present and lively, and the acidity pushes the champagne forward with good punch, bringing a light tannic grip to the palate.
