Extra - Brut
PREMIER CRU
POWERFUL AND HARMONIOUS
Its Origin,
La Montagne De Reims
Territory “South”:
Bouzy, Tauxières, Louvois.
​
Vast plateau stretching in an arc at an altitude of 283 meters between Reims and Épernay, crowned with a wooded massif offering the Pinot Noir thermal regulation by alternating morning freshness and warmer temperatures afterwards.
The slopes descending from this plateau are made of Campanian chalk covered with colluvium and marine alluvium.
​
These very favorable conditions give the Pinot Noir benchmark balances made up of earthy power and chiseled maturity. Red fruitiness, violet flowers, white stone fruits, almonds, hazelnuts, undergrowth combine with richness.

Tasting:
EYE
Straw yellow colour announcing a generous
vinous wine.
NOSE
Powerful and fine, it expresses aromatic
nuances of white fruits (pear) and pastry notes
(grilled hazelnut, almond). Complex, with minty and undergrowth aromas (bark, humus).
PALATE
Balanced and melted, it offers a very long
and deliciously patinated f inish (gingerbread,
undergrowth, light tobacco).
​
Paring :
"This aromatically very subtle cuvée has a beautiful structure on the palate. This allows it to be served after the aperitif and it will go perfect with varied dishes:
Poached oysters and carrot espuma with cumin, Tataki of tuna with sesame, egg scramble with sea urchin coraille, Chapon de Bresse stuffed with morels, brie".
