The Story
With a light dosage, this airy champagne reveals its pure and subtle character, revealing the true nature of blending. Nicely mineral, it releases flowery and fruity notes in a light effervescence. An ideal partner for exceptional aperitifs, it perfectly matches with iodized dishes reminiscent of seaside holidays like seafood, sushis or flat oysters from Britany.
The Champagnes classification follows very specific criteria for sugar dosage. In contrast to the sweet extremes, the "Extra-Brut" dosage allows the Champagne to express a wild and pure side, engaging with an unvarnished complexity, acquired during the long years of maturation in cellar, before disgorgement. The true nature of the assembly resurfaced then, throbbing again with freshness, when the cap jumps and releases its bubbles in a sharp rustling.
Notes:
Tinted with pale gold and silver hues, the dress is brilliant, dotted with a multitude fine and light bubbles.
The nose is pure and complex, playing on floral notes (acacia, nutty bug) mixed with fruity notes (stone fruits, Mirabelle, white peach) delicate. The attack on the palate is voluntary, nervous and racy: the discretion of the nose leaves room a wild minerality, barely tamed by a complex fruity fragrance. The finish is subtle, tense and persistent. Pure and complex.
Acacia and bug hazelnut. Fruits to nuclei. Pale gold and reflections money. Brilliant. Fine bubbles and light. Voluntary attack and racy. minerality wild. Final subtle and persistent.
Food match: Ideal partner of appetizers, it goes wonderfully with iodized dishes (sushi, crustaceans etc).
Wine Information
Champagne PANNIER associates both modern and traditional...
Champagne PANNIER was founded by Louis Eugene Pannier in 1899, in Dizy, next to Epernay. In 1937, his son purchased medieval cellars in Château-Thierry, in the Marne Valley and there transferred his thriving champagne house. A group of wine growers purchased Champagne PANNIER and the cellars in 1974.
During an archaeological study in 1999, a XIV century rock carving of an archer was found in the cellars. This carving became the new logo for Champagne PANNIER with the motto of "Ad perfectionem intendere" – we aim for perfection.
This emblem represents PANNIER's values and wines: elegance, uprightness and balance.
The traditional blending of Champagne wines is the secret which renders PANNIER a classic Champagne... And so, the three varieties of Champagne grapes, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir ripen for PANNIER throughout the noble vineyards of Champagne.
Off the beaten trail, in the backdrop of the Marne Valley vineyards in Château-Thierry, in the tranquility of our thousand year old cellars, these bottles are harbored in serenity.
Age old tradition is aided by modern methods at all levels of wine making assuring the coexistence of rigor and creativity. This technical mastery, hailed by all, permits the Cellar Master of PANNIER to produce a champagne of valor and virtue, consistent in PANNIER's style: elegant, well balanced and long.
