Blend

A balanced blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, each grape variety contributing its distinctive character: Pinot Noir for structure, Chardonnay for elegance, and Pinot Meunier for roundness and fruitiness.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Brilliant straw-yellow with golden highlights, displaying fine and persistent bubbles, indicative of a meticulous aging process.

Nose: An inviting and complex bouquet with notes of citrus, green apple, and pear, layered with aromas of white flowers, almonds, and subtle brioche. Hints of honey and toasted nuts add further depth to the nose.

Palate: Fresh and well-balanced, with a creamy texture and lively acidity. Flavors of orchard fruits, lemon zest, and hints of hazelnut unfold harmoniously, underpinned by a refined minerality. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a pleasant impression of freshness and sophistication.

Aging Potential

This Champagne is ready to be enjoyed now, but it also has aging potential in the magnum format, which will further enhance its complexity over 5 to 7 years.

Food Pairing

Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood dishes like oysters, crab, or lobster. It also complements dishes such as roasted poultry, creamy pastas, and soft cheeses like brie or camembert.
