Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
From the citrus tension of Jacquesson to the mineral edge of Roederer Collection 246, a bright, acidic thread runs through the entire selection.
Roundness
Bollinger Spécial Cuvée and Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve bring the vinous breadth and buttery generosity that balance the whole.
Power
The reserve wines vinified in wood at Bollinger and the concentrated substance of the barrel-aged Choppin Mi-Côtes lend this selection genuine depth.
Length on the Palate
The extended lees ageing — 36 months at Choppin, over 3 years at Bollinger — ensures exceptional aromatic persistence.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with peach highlights for the Taittinger Prestige Rosé, brilliant pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles for the white cuvées. On the nose, a spectrum of rare richness: toasted brioche and blonde tobacco at Bollinger, white flowers and citrus at Jacquesson, cherry and crushed strawberry from the Taittinger Rosé, chalky fruit and saline tension at Roederer Collection 246. On the palate, the selection combines the rounded fullness of Heidsieck, the crisp vivacity of Jacquesson and the oaky depth of the Choppin Mi-Côtes fermented with indigenous yeasts.

Terroirs

Six complementary terroirs: the Montagne de Reims and Grande Vallée de la Marne for Bollinger and Jacquesson, the Côte des Blancs for Heidsieck and Roederer, and the clay-limestone slopes of Damery, Vinay and Binson for the Choppin Mi-Côtes — an interregional panorama expressing the full diversity of the Champagne vineyards.

About this house

Five great Champagne houses and one artisan grower: such is the hallmark of the Prestige Selection curated by Pépites en Champagne. Bollinger, Charles Heidsieck, Jacquesson, and Taittinger each embody a distinctive vision of Champagne excellence, ranging from oxidative power to perennial freshness and floral elegance.

Champagne Maurice Choppin, an HVE-certified grower from Damery with seven generations of heritage, rounds out the selection with his Mi-Côtes: 60% Chardonnay, 40% Meunier, aged 36 months on the lees in barrel under the guidance of Benjamin Choppin — the artisan soul and singular voice of the Vallée de la Marne.

The white cuvées elevate the brininess and delicacy of a seafood platter — oysters, langoustines and clams in perfect harmony.

The vinous roundness of Bollinger and the depth of Heidsieck pair beautifully with truffled poultry in a creamy sauce.
