TESSENDIER Lot 97 Grande Champagne TTG 3.0

Nose : ample, rich. The very empyreumatic (apricot stone, cedar) initial nose has majestic presence. Allowed to breathe, it develops stunning notes of tarte tatin, fig jam and heather honey. The Grande Champagne terroir is magnificently reproduced. It reveals aromas of cep, truffle, dead leaves, exotic fruits (mango, passion fruit, flambéed banana) and corinthian raisins.

Palate : both lively and unctuous. The fleshy and pulpy (plum, white grape) attack is very dense. Its gravelly, almost earthy, texture boasts imposing fullness and power. On the mid-palate, aromatic plants (thyme, oregano), lime blossom honey, almond milk and grape are placed delicately on the palate. The end of the palate is floral (lilac, lavender, rose petal).

Overall : long, silky. Continuing on from the nose and the palate, the start of the finish is characterized by notes of zan liquorice sweets, purple violets and clove. Cocoa bean and candied ginger then bring lots of length and firmness. The retronasal olfaction is terpenic (apricot stone), fruity (strawberry, raspberry) and honeyed (heather). Just like the nose, the empty glass is empyreumatic.
