Tasting note
An elegant Champagne with a bouquet of citrus blossom that precedes a delicate array of greengages and honey on the tongue.
Viticulture
This cuvée is made with premier cru grapes mainly from the comune of Hautvillers (where the monk, Dom Pérignon pioneered the production of Champagne), but with some blending with premier crus in Cumières and Dizy.
Vinification
Around 30% of the wine is made from reserve wines, adding complexity and uniformity across vintages. It is aged for three years in the cellars on the lees to add roundness and yeast character. At disgorgement the wine is given a dosage 8g/l.
Food Match
A versatile champagne which is ideal for aperitif or for lighter first courses.
