Winery Notes
It is a Champagne blend of 55% Pinot Noir, 25% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay of which 15% of the wines have been vinified in wood.
All the grapes come exclusively from the Coteaux de Cumières, classified as Premier Cru.
A small proportion of the Pinot Noirs is harvested separately and "infused" for a few days in cold water to be blended with the juices of the Brut Nature Blanc.
The wine has been aged in bottles and on lees for a minimum of 5 years and also benefits from a minimum of 6 months rest after disgorgement.
Gold color with slightly amber reflections.
The first bouquet is intense mixing sweet flowers like goat leaf or broom with a hint of jasmine and yellow fruit flowers (peach) and slightly toasted dried fruit with a hint of madeleine perfume. The second attack on the nose gives spicy and lemony notes reminiscent of sansho-ko pepper from the Far East.
In the mouth: ample and beautiful creamy texture with a final of very nice bitters and spices zested with multiple citrus fruits like Menton lemon or Florida grapefruit with a delicate presence of wood.
To be served at around 12° and therefore fresh so as not to flatten the palette of perfumes and tastes in perfect harmony.
Perfect with noble fish such as sea bass or turbot fillets with Champagne sauce. Same as Duck Foie gras and caviar. Ideal on a lobster or a blue lobster from Brittany or Scotland.
