I certify that I am of legal ageWeather: 2016 was a particularly atypical year, cultivating its originality right up to the end of the campaign, with unpredictable conditions throughout the year: an extraordinarily wet and cool spring, followed by a very dry summer, and finally the return of fine weather.
Harvest:
Conditions: August gave way to warm, sunny days.
Characteristics: The grapes were in excellent health and exceptionally ripe.
Summary: After an intense year, the dynamics of ripening and the quality of the grapes offer oenologists and cellar managers the opportunity to end the vintage with a good impression and a fine substance.
WINE TASTING VIDEO:
Optimal serving temperature between 8 to 10°C (46 to 50°F).
COLOUR: Golden yellow, with fine, elegant bubbles.
NOSE: The first nose is very tasty, with aromas of white-fleshed fruit (juicy pear and white peach). This is followed by notes of delicate white flowers (jasmine and acacia), and finishes with more subtle notes of dragees and roasted hazelnuts.
PALATE: The palate is both fresh and creamy. The midpalate is full and delicious. Notes of lemon, brioche and then mineral follow to finish with elegant, lingering citrus zest aromas (lemon).
This Champagne can be served with canapés, finger food, or a cheese platter (aged Cheddar, Cantal and Mimolette). As a main course, it would be perfect with poultry cooked at a low temperature, langoustine ravioli, or a lobster nage with saffron sauce.
