Discover how to enjoy our champagne
BLEND
The grape harvest of 2016 in Champagne reflects the region's traditional unpredictability. Winter was wet and a cool causing some mildew and grape loss, followed by a rainy spring and a summer that dried the vineyards but also led to water stress and further fruit loss.
Despite these challenges, the remaining grapes ripened well, especially the Meuniers and Pinots Noirs.

TASTING NOTES
Slightly golden yellow with vibrant green reflections.
Initial fleeting aromas are brown and dry: toasted bread, grains and hazelnut. The secondary aromas are softer: gingerbread, marzipan, barley sugar. Finally, the most persistent background notes are fruity and floral: plum, mirabelle, quince, orange blossom and aniseed.
A serene, round palate.
Sensations enfold effortlessly, akin to a fading scene in a movie or a gentle wave rolling over smooth sand before softly retreating. The initial round, supple attack effortlessly transitions into a structured core-like sensation, culminating in a finish reminiscent of the sweet, tangy freshness of a clementine or pomelo.
SERENITY AFTER STORM
The overall experience radiates a serene and peaceful feeling, like finding calm after enduring hardship.
