Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The north-facing exposure of Verzenay and the absence of malolactic fermentation deliver a finely chiselled, persistent acidity.
Roundness
The barrel-aged red wine brings volume and a fleshy touch that balances the overall tension.
Power
A pronounced Pinot Noir dominance, held in check by the natural freshness of the north-facing Grand Cru terroir.
Length
A persistent finish with notes of cherry and grenadine, underpinned by the reserve wines of the solera.

TASTING NOTES

A salmon-pink robe with luminous, intense highlights. The nose is expressive, offering fresh raspberry, rose and subtle spiced notes from the red wine aged in barrel. The palate is lively and taut, driven by a finely chiselled natural acidity, with generous fruit and a finish of cherry, grenadine and a light chalky minerality.

Terroirs

A Grand Cru assemblage drawn from the north-facing plots of Verzenay, Verzy and Sillery, on the chalky subsoil of the Montagne de Reims. The northerly exposure imparts a characteristic natural freshness and minerality that give the blend its backbone.

Péhu Simonet

About this house

A récoltant-manipulant established in Verzenay, at the heart of the Montagne de Reims, Péhu Simonet tends vines exclusively on Grand Cru-classified plots. David Péhu upholds a rigorous style centred on the most authentic expression of Champenois Pinot Noir, with partial barrel ageing and a solera begun in 2000.

The Face Nord range takes its name from the north-facing slopes of Verzenay, renowned for their natural freshness and pronounced minerality. With no malolactic fermentation sought and dosed as Extra Brut, Péhu Simonet's cuvées display a taut, upright and uncompromising profile — the hallmark of a grower who refuses to take the easy path.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Aperitif

The Extra Brut vivacity and fruity notes of the rosé pair naturally with warm comté gougères.

Starter

The chalky freshness and red fruit aromas of the rosé are a perfect match for the delicate flesh of salmon tartare.

Main course

The gentle tannic structure of the Pinot Noir and the warm spices of magret de canard resonate in perfect harmony.
