Description

"Ultima" The last one ? Perhaps. In any event this is the name of one of our special cuvées. A special name for a special champagne aged in oak to lend a suggestion of woodiness whilst not in any way masking the fruit. With a lively attack and a long finish Ultima will appeal to lovers of more mature champagnes and several commentators see it as the perfect wine for an intimate dinner à deux. Appreciated for its golden colour, its aromas of dried fruit and cherries as well as for its delicate structure on the palate. Your first taste is certain not to be your last.
