Penfolds

Champagne Cuvee Brut NV 750ml Gift Box

COLOUR Clear straw; a delicate and fine mousse.
NOSE • Awash with florals – an exotic mix of white petals immediately ascend – wafts of lily, chamomile and
seringat immediately come to mind.
• Propelled by a fine mousse even more botanic scents are liberated/eluted - Oranger du Mexique
(Mexican orange blossom, not unlike lemon-tree flowers) and Yuzu Orange Citrus.
• Familial notes of roasted nut, vanillin pod and custard-apple remain in the very-quickly emptied glass.
• A subliminal tussle between disparate aromatic dispositions - fresh, forward and flirtaceous vs. delicate,
assured and measured. You decide!
PALATE A bonanza of flavours – instantly reminding of a just-baked Tarte au Citron meringuée
– that ideally afford so many palate descriptors that often remain elusive. Not here.
• And yet subtle derivatives of raspberry pastille, nougat and vanillin bean pod still manage
to cautiously circle.
• Lively. Assorted sherberts coupled with tingling acidity enhance and define. An array of
citrus exemplars prance across the palate – clean and pure, without any bitterness from zest.
• Gentle, ethereal, no rough edges. Complete, assured.
