The year 2011 turned out to be the hottest year in France since the start of weather records, a century ago. One of the main characteristics of 2011 was the exceptionnally mild and very dry spring and autumn. The months of April and October were the hottest ever recorded with, for example, an excess over 4,2°C compared to the average in April. The hot and dry weather created this fabulous Petite Champagne 2011 vintage.
TASTING NOTES:
The nose reveals intense notes of green almonds, orgeat and silky ginger.
A nice bitterness of pomelo and bitter orange can be experienced on the palate.
The structure is straight and the whole tasting very delightful.
