Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The vibrant acidity and chalky minerality from four Grands Crus on the Côte des Blancs lend a crystalline, persistent freshness.
Roundness
Reserve wines (30 to 40% of the blend) bring a lovely creamy amplitude without ever weighing down the texture.
Power
An elegant and precise expression, whose power resides in finesse rather than in aromatic exuberance.
Length
The finish lingers on notes of citrus and damp chalk, a telling reflection of the terroirs of Avize and Mesnil-sur-Oger.

TASTING NOTES

A luminous pale gold robe with golden highlights, animated by a fine and persistent mousse. The nose opens on notes of acacia blossom, lemon zest and fresh chalk, before an elegant brioche touch enriches the picture. The palate is straight, taut and creamy, carried by a chiselled acidity that underscores flavours of candied citrus, pear and white peach, leading to a long, saline and mineral finish.

Terroirs

An exclusive assemblage of Chardonnay from four Grand Cru villages on the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant and Mesnil-sur-Oger — the chalky, calcareous heart of the Champagne vineyard. Reserve wines account for 30 to 40% of the blend, ensuring the consistency and depth of this non-vintage cuvée, aged on laths for four to five years.

Green asparagus risotto, with its spring vegetable notes and unctuous texture, responds elegantly to the freshness and minerality of this cuvée.
