Special Cuvée greets me with a simple and rather restrained bouquet. It whispers in pears and croissants baked for the queen's funeral. Thanks to oxygen exposure it breaks from petrification spell to waft with notes of lemon and hazelnut. On the palate, it's round and tasty with some good acidity. The aftertaste makes me think that the agent drives an enormously huge car.
Bollinger Dinner #1. Profound and slightly oxidative bouquet full of brioche, crème brûlée, baked pear, lemon and nuts. Well balanced, creamy and fruity, almost full bodied.
