Tasting note
This vintage Champagne smells like a flower garden crossed with an orchard, with acacia, honeysuckle and poppies supplemented by cherry and red apple, all enhanced by a waft of toasted bread and honey.
Viticulture
The blend of this great cuvée forms a harmonious alliance between the strength of Pinot Noir (40%) grown on the Grands & Premiers Crus vineyards throughout the Montagne de Reims (Aÿ, Mailly, Chigny) and the fresh touch of Chardonnay (60%) from the Côtes des Blancs (Avize, Vertus).
Vinification
Matured on lees for 5 to 7 years with 5g/L dosage.
Food Match
Soft boiled egg with radish tops in cream sauce. Tuna marinated in orange and fennel with fresh mint pure. Ratte potatoes with truffle emulsion .
