ER2 is characterized by the intensity that is the signature of the grand crus of the Côte des Blancs and by the complexity of its perpetual reserve. A delicate, slightly coppery, pink. The first nose is floral, elegant, and finely fruity, with aromas of pink grapefruit and vine peach. Touches of dried fruit and grilled almond evolve towards patisseries (brioche...) and lightly toasty notes. Diaphanous, with particularly fine effervescence, Champagne ER2 opens after airing, developing more complex notes of spices, preserved lemon zest, mandarin and white peach. The mouth is ample, with slightly buttery notes that are perfectly balanced by the freshness of citrus and fresh hazelnut, leading to a soaring finish of great persistence, underlined by a magnificently chalky minerality. The blend of Chardonnay wines of different ages in ER2 makes up 75% of the final Fleur de Miraval blend. The remaining 25% is from young Pinot Noir.
