Appearance: Pale golden yellow with a fine, persistent mousse, showcasing its elegance and high quality.

Aroma: The nose is fresh and expressive, with bright aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and pear, intermingled with hints of white flowers and toasted brioche. Subtle notes of almond, honey, and a delicate minerality add depth, reflecting the Grand Cru origins and the time spent aging on lees.

Taste: On the palate, this Champagne is crisp and vibrant, offering flavours of lemon, apple, and pear, balanced by a creamy texture from the fine bubbles. The wine has a refreshing acidity, complemented by notes of toasted nuts, biscuit, and a slight chalky minerality that gives structure and complexity. The balance of fruit and autolytic notes (from lees aging) creates a smooth, refined mouthfeel.

Finish: The finish is long and clean, with lingering citrus and brioche notes, along with a refreshing mineral edge, showcasing the wine's finesse and potential for further aging.

Food pairing: This Brut Champagne pairs wonderfully with oysters, prawns, or grilled scallops, where its acidity and minerality enhance the seafood’s briny qualities. It also complements light hors d’oeuvres, smoked salmon, and soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert. For something richer, it can pair beautifully with roasted chicken or creamy pasta dishes, balancing the richness with its fresh, crisp character.
