Opened it for our New Year’s Eve dinner. Lovely length and a hint of minerality. Top-notch delivery, as always. Pure joy.

Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2018 75cl
A very pale robe with green glints and a lively, delicate effervescence. On the nose, subtle aromas of lemon, white blossom and lemon oil compose a palette of striking freshness. On the palate, delicacy and a gentle salinity lead to a finish of absolute purity and lightness.

Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Extra-brut at 1.9 g/L, citrus and floral freshness takes centre stage, carried by a striking mineral tension.
Roundness
15% barrel ageing lends a discreet creaminess that supports the cuvée without weighing it down.
Power
A champagne of finesse rather than force, it captivates through its delicacy and crystalline lightness.
Length on the Palate
The saline, iodine-tinged finish lingers with remarkable mineral purity.

Food pairing
The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif
Its citrus-bright finesse and delicate bubble pair beautifully with freshly shucked oysters as an opening bite.
Starter
The citrus freshness of the Blanc de Blancs elevates the bittersweet delicacy of herb-cured salmon gravlax.
Main Course
The saline minerality of this cuvée finds a natural echo with sole meunière and its gently buttery flavours.
