Taste
An orchestra of flavors, with layers of red berries, crisp apples, and a subtle minerality, all balanced by a spine of racy acidity. It is elegant. The foam is stable. 5 years on lees make this champagne
a more voluminous champagne. A truly exceptional champagne experience!
Pairing
Classic pairings: roast poultry, pork, rich fish, shellfish, mild cheeses, fried chicken and dishes with gentle mushroom or savory depth. Japanese cuisine: yakitori, karaage, grilled salmon, duck rosu, tonkatsu and mushroom chawanmushi. Thai cuisine: gai yang, moo ping, tod man pla, grilled river prawns and mild coconut or herb-based dishes; avoid aggressive chili heat.
Vinification
The wine ferments spontaneously in neutral barrels. No malolactic fermentation. The wine rests in barrels on fine lees for about 5 years. It’s then bottled and aged for at least 42 months for the secondary fermentation (prise de mousse). Dosage of 4g/l., extra brut).
