white - Allow your eye to follow the regular rise of dainty pale golden bubbles, like exquisite shooting stars that burst in the sky at the summit of your champagne glass.

Essentiel's four years of aging have bestowed upon it an unfussy charm. This is a bright, invigorating wine with well-defined fruit and an aromatic purity showing notes of citrus and white fruits, crisp succulent grapes, fresh apple and fresh almond. Intense and lasting notes of fruitcake follow, along with nuttiness, and an exquisite sensation of sweetness, hinting, at the long period of repose that this wine has enjoyed.
