CHARACTERISTICS
Cette cuvée se distingue par sa vinification, où 100 % des Chardonnays sont élevés en fûts de chêne pendant 12 mois. Elle dévoile des arômes boisés et vineux, magnifiés par une longue maturation sur lies. Ce Blanc de Blancs, enrichi de vins de réserve, tire sa rondeur et son caractère de racines ancrée à plusieurs mètres dans le sous-sol crayeux, capturant l'essence profonde de sa terre natale. Cuvée rare, elle incarne l’âme d’un grand vin de Champagne.
TASTING NOTES
Appearance
A golden hue with radiant reflections, adorned with a delicate string of fine bubbles.
On the nose

On the palate
The extended aging in the cellar gives this wine a round and silky texture. The aromas of toasted almonds and pastry blend with a vanilla and woody finish, all enhanced by a fine effervescence and a beautiful length on the palate.
GASTRONOMIC PAIRINGS
The intense aromas of this Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru harmonize perfectly with a long-aged Comté, which complex aging creates a perfect symbiosis.
Its richness, derived from barrel aging, also pairs wonderfully with roasted quails with vin jaune and morels, or spiced duck with orange.
Finally, a black rice risotto with lobster highlights the elegance and roundness of this exceptional cuvée.
