I certify that I am of legal age15 september 1943: after a mild year with no frost, the harvest begins in Champagne… This is also where the story of this cuvee composed of 12 exceptional wines begins. The blend brings us then in 1947, an outstanding year. Several years – including 1943, 1988, 1996 and 2000 – have been selected afterwards to join these two old vintages, filled with history. But it is finally in 2012 that this unique assemblage, which gives to this cuvee its typiciality and singularity, is completed.
In the vaulted cellars of the House, Stephanie Sucheyre, œnologist, accompanied by Christophe Prieux and Olivier Legendre, secretly give a second life to the old magnums and bottles that have been kept there for years. Together, they select and taste 12 rares wines with unique characteristics that will be at the origin of this exceptional cuvee. Thanks to different vintages and a knowledge passed on from generation to generation, this unique wine is well rooted in the past and really enigmatic .
This Extra-Brut cuvee (2g/l) is amazingly fresh and combines citrus aromas and floral notes. The robe is pale yellow, revealing silvery sheen. The nose is fresh and intense with floral notes. The palate is lively and releases the characteristic freshness of this wine, giving way to candied lime aromas.
Ideal as an aperitif, or to accompany refined dishes such as scallop carpaccio, shellfish, small game or Turbot Rossini with foie gras sauce and veal jus with truffles…
