Marketing - Wine / Oenology / Viticulture / Champagne description
French term or phrase: notes de végétaux frais
Avec une belle finesse en bouche ce Champagne montre des **notes de végétaux frais** , l'ensemble est élégant sur une belle longueur.

I have "hints of fresh greenery" but am unable to find any corroborative descriptions. Any other suggestions?

fresh vegetable notes/flavours


Explanation:
Notes in wine tasting are the flavours in the taste of the wine. Often they are fruity but can be vegetal.

The usual French word for vegetables is legumes but vegetaux also means vegetables.

neutral  Tony M: Not really, Alison: 'vegetal' simply means 'relating to plants (of all kinds)' (the vegetable kingdom), not specifically vegetables.
