Tasting note
An elegant Champagne with a bouquet of citrus blossom that precedes a delicate array of greengages and honey on the tongue.
In the press
Pretty nectrine fruit along side biscuit with creamy palate and freshness.
Located in Hautvillers, just 5km outside Epernay, this is a wonderful small family-owned house that is now in its fifth generation. Aged for three years, this is a classic blend of Chardonnay and the two Pinots.
Viticulture
This cuvée is made with premier cru grapes mainly from the commune of Hautvillers (where the monk, Dom Pérignon pioneered the production of Champagne), but with some blending with premier crus in Cumières and Dizy.
Vinification
Exclusively from Premier Cru villages, this is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. Around 30% of the wine is made from reserve wines, adding complexity and uniformity across vintages. It is aged for three years in the cellars on the lees to add roundness and yeast character. At disgorgement the wine is given a dosage 7g/l.
Food Match
A versatile champagne which is ideal for aperitif or for lighter first courses.
