Wine Information
Profile: EXPRESSIVE, TENDER ESSENCE OF FRUIT
The intense golden yellow color is a perfect background for the dazzling, chaotic rise of
the delicate bubbles.
The stylish nose evokes a blend of yellow and white fruit, at once elegant and
refreshing, the perfect essence of summer fruit.
The taste is crisp, with a defined minerality lengthening the finale giving a wonderfully
balanced expression of enduring flavour.
Tasting
A full-bodied champagne, excellent as an aperitif: pair it with sliced fresh fruit, or a
mixture of diced Comté cheese and shavings of aged Mimolette.
It can also accompany a meal: pair with delicate savoury dishes: langoustine pastries,
mildly spiced raviolis, foie gras brioche with an apricot confit, or a Brie de Meaux in
puff pastry
