This Brut vintage cuvée is a blend of equal parts of Grand Cru Chardonnay from Cote de Blancs and Grands Crus Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims and top of the Marne valley. Made exclusively from first press juice, it matures for a long time in the cellars.

Bright golden straw yellow colour with vigorous effervescence. The nose was intensely aromatic with initial flowery notes developing into ripe fruit and dried fruit aromas. The palate was complex and rich with a fruity character that lent it a subtle sweetness. A long and fine finish makes it a good food wine.

We appreciated it with the main course of Fish Fillet stuffed with scallops, nuts and saffron and Zucchini Ribbons in fresh butter.
