- Tasting note
- A refreshing brut champagne made from Pinot Noir (65%) and Chardonnay (30%) from old vines from 1er Cru areas Mareuil sur Ay & Bisseuil 1er cru. This Premier Cru champagne is intensely herbal in a positive way, redolent of mint and eucalyptus that convey a cooling and cleansing aura to its texturally polished palate. Also nice fresh fruit aroma's from apple and pear with a mouthwaterlingly sweet savor and sense of richness in a persistently juicy, chalk-kissed finish.
- Wine-food combination
- A widely applicable Champagne that can handle both an aperitif and a wide variety of dishes. Both beautiful with seafood, but also with richer fish dishes from sushi to rich fish such as sea bass.
