Tasting note
This vintage Champagne smells like a flower garden crossed with an orchard, with acacia, honeysuckle and poppies supplemented by cherry and red apple, all enhanced by a waft of toasted bread and honey.

In the press
Good structured aromas with some baked peaches, stew and red fruits notes. Still youthful but showing firm vintage style with plenty of character.
Viticulture
The blend of this great cuvée forms a harmonious alliance between the strength of Pinot Noir (40%) grown on the Grands & Premiers Crus vineyards throughout the Montagne de Reims (Aÿ, Mailly, Chigny) and the fresh touch of Chardonnay (60%) from the Côtes des Blancs (Avize, Vertus).
Vinification
Matured on lees for 5 to 7 years with 5g/L dosage.
Food Match
Soft boiled egg with radish tops in cream sauce. Tuna marinated in orange and fennel with fresh mint pure. Ratte potatoes with truffle emulsion .
