Aged on lees for 7 years, this cuvée Blanc de Blancs Vintage is the result of a blend of the greatest Chardonnay crus from the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Mesnil sur Oger, Oger...
True to the Maison's style, the dosage of the Blanc de Blancs Vintage is very discreet.
The expedition liqueur skilfully prepared by the Cellar Master as well as the aging for more than a year after disgorgement give it its maturity and richness.
The Chardonnay's full expression recalls the Maison's refined and audacious style.
The exotic and citric freshness crowned with a touch of white peach and followed by silkier and slightly toasted notes, bring a rich and complex balance, respecting an infallible fidelity to the minerality of the terroir.
This harmonious cuvée of Grandes Chardonnays, a symphony of purity, reaches fullness, the signature of a great champagne.
TASTING NOTES
COLOR : clear and silky, a legacy of Chardonnay that reveals a rare freshness and generosity. Endowed with an inimitable radiance, a persistent cord with delicate bubbles accompanied by crystalline golden reflections,
NOSE: reveals aromas of exotic fruits, crowned with notes of white peach, followed by toasted notes with hints of brioche.
MOUTH: A precise and clean attack, with a distinct mineral sweetness to a slightly citric and spicy finish. The minerality, chalk and a light touch of ash lead us to the terroir of these Grands Crus. The general harmony of Blanc de Blancs Vintage is very good, it is a gastronomic wine, a champagne to share.
Food & Wine Pairing : This great Champagne wine sublimates all moments of great gastronomy and will enhance the flavors of the most refined dishes for powerful flavor pairings in a sumptuous balance. Perfectly accompanies lobster carpaccio marinated in lemon caviar, a turbot fillet poached in meat broth and truffled vegetables or even a prawn tartare with citrus fruits. To enhance its freshness and minerality, it goes perfectly with a supreme of poultry and foie gras risotto or a veal medallion with mushrooms.
For dessert, an iced parfait with bitter almonds, a strawberry coulis and pistachio tuile.
