It is a champagne made from Chardonnay, a grape variety that thrives on the Montagne de Reims and is perfectly adapted to its chalky soils, hence the name it bears as a wink and a tribute to its great wine terroirs.
The grapes are harvested manually and the wine is aged in French oak barrels from the Argonne forest for about 6 months.
The robe is peachy yellow with some light green reflections.
The nose in first attack is very pronounced on citrus fruits like the lemon of Menton or the pink grapefruit of Florida. The second nose is on pineapple with a small point of lychee.
The mouth is full and creamy with a very woody finish as a reminder of its aging in oak barrels.
To be served around 10°C with langoustines, gambas grilled a la plancha and flambéed with Cognac or on caviar canapés.
