Are you ready to be dazzled??? A blend of 50% Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, sourced from vineyards in the villages of Châtillon sur Marne, Hautvillers, and Cumières. The base wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 months before being bottled for a second fermentation. The 2009 vintage is vinified in Solera with 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Disgorgement from February 2022 with a dosage of 3g/L.

For those who aren’t aware, the Solera system involves blending wines from different vintages, resulting in a complex and layered Champagne.

Pours into the glass a satin yellow color and crystal with persistent, fine bubbles that form a delicate mousse.

The oh hello cheeky aromas of chalky, iodized minerality are followed by ripe orchard fruit, tangerine zest, blackcurrant, bergamot, holiday raisin bread, salted almonds, mushrooms, burnt honey, roast toasty brioche and and a hint of honeysuckle m. Wow 🤩 that’s just the aromas!

The flavors are an interplay of peach, yellow apple and pear, followed by rich and flirty brioche, salted almond, toffee , mushroom saline umami and a lemony mineral acidity that carries on oh so gloriously.

An extraordinary champagne with a layered, crystalline purity and creamy mouthfeel. A well knit sweater weather champagne.🥂

Pair with decadent lobster mac and cheese, oysters gratin, porcini wild rice stuffed Cornish hens or Parmesan sablé 🥂🥂
