CHARACTERISTICS
This vintage is distinguished by its vinification, where 100% of the Chardonnays are aged in oak barrels for 12 months. It reveals woody and vinous aromas, enhanced by long maturation on lees. This Blanc de Blancs, enriched with reserve wines, draws its roundness and character from roots anchored several meters in the chalky subsoil, capturing the deep essence of its native land. A rare vintage, it embodies the soul of a great Champagne wine.
TASTING NOTES
Appearance
A golden hue with radiant reflections, adorned with a delicate string of fine bubbles.
On the nose
The nose, both woody and captivating, reveals aromas of finely dried spices, accompanied by notes of baked pear and ripe fig. Enchanting aromas of white truffle blend with subtle oxidation notes, adding depth and complexity to the whole.
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.
