Benguela Cove Joie De Vivre Cap Classique 75cl

Benguela Cove Joie de Vivre Cap Classique exhibits a vibrant intensity and revels in elegance and style.

On the nose, the MCC shows slight perfume and berry aromas followed by notes of nougat and brioche, while the palate is seductively fresh and focused with lingering mineral tones.

The fine and soft mousse gives way to beautiful biscuit, red apple and nutty flavours on the palate, then subtly rounds off with a creamy complexity.
