Alfred Gratien : Cuvée Paradis Brut 2008

The Champagne Alfred Gratien 2008 Paradis Brut exhibits an incredible texture: a pale yellow color, very thin slow bubbles and a lovely mousse delicately floating on the surface of the wine.

Although discreet at first, the nose suggests great freshness. This 2008 Champagne reveals subtle lemon grass and white flower scents -honeysuckle and May lili- then salt and mineral notes, enhanced with white pepper. A warm temperature brings out the vanilla notes. This 2008 vintage is elegant and promising.

To the palate, the discreet and tender 2008 Paradis Brut Champagne offers a delicate and smooth body. The acidity brings a lovely silky texture while the bubble creates a round ensemble. The finish is also reserved; long and pure.
