Description
The Cuvée Tradition Grand Cru from Domaine R.H. Coutier is an elegant Champagne crafted from the prestigious terroir of Ambonnay, one of the finest Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. Known for its Pinot Noir vines, Ambonnay produces grapes of exceptional quality. The Cuvée Tradition showcases the expertise of the domaine with a harmonious balance between the freshness of Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Noir.
Blend
Pinot Noir: Provides red fruit aromas, a solid structure, and great length on the palate.
Chardonnay: Contributes freshness, vivacity, and finesse, with floral and citrus notes.
Tasting notes
Color: The wine presents a pale golden hue with bright reflections and a fine, persistent mousse, indicative of a high-quality Champagne.
Nose: The nose is fresh and elegant, offering aromas of white-fleshed fruits like pear and apple, combined with citrus, white flowers, and brioche. Subtle hints of red fruit, from the Pinot Noir, mix with more pastry-like notes of almond and butter, reflecting aging on lees.
Palate: On the palate, the Cuvée Tradition is lively and fresh, with a beautiful tension brought by the Chardonnay. Fresh fruit and citrus dominate, followed by more complex notes of red fruit and toasted bread. The texture is silky and well-balanced, with fine, persistent bubbles. The finish is long and elegant, with a lovely minerality and slight brioche notes.
Aging potential
This Grand Cru Champagne can be enjoyed now for its freshness and fruity profile. It can also be cellared for 3 to 5 years, during which time it will develop more complexity, with evolved aromas of dried fruits and brioche.
Food pairings
Appetizers: Ideal with seafood-based canapés or fresh cheese bites.
Seafood: Oysters, scallops, or grilled shrimp.
Fish: Smoked salmon, fish tartare, or grilled fish like sea bream.
White meats: Poultry or veal filet with a light citrus sauce.
Cheeses: Soft and creamy cheeses like Brie or Chaource.
