A blend of Pinot Noir (60%) and Chardonnay (40%) grapes from Premier Cru vineyards in Mutigny and Mareuil-sur-Ay which are quite frankly Grand Cru is disguise. Basic cuvée made up of 60% wine from the 2016 harvest, with grapes vinified in steel, and the addition of 40% reserve wine & aged in used small wood with 60 months sur lie.
Pours into the glass a light gold color with fine bubbles that rise quickly to the surface.
The nose is expressive with holiday aromas of anise, cinnamon, vanilla, sweet pastry cream, yeasty baked buns, toasted nuts, followed by ripe apple, stone fruit, citrus, mocha and burnt honey.
First sip you are hit with two way traffic of refreshing meets complexity - a zingy good acidity that cuts through the ripe sweetness of the fruit flavors - ripe and juicy peach, apricot, red apple, apricot kernel with a hint of citrus zest, mushrooms, autumn leaves, cocoa, toasted brioche, roasted almonds . A nice salinity leads into a very long finish on sweet Christmas baking spice.
A generous and round structure that bewitches you with its finesse, its magical charm. It’s holiday warmth, spice and everything nice that you need this sparkling season.
A gastronomic champagne delicious on its own or with seared scallop risotto, tuna tartar or a bacon olive gruyère cake with your apéritif 🥂🥂
