Designed for connoisseurs seeking a direct yet nuanced impression, it is aimed at those looking for a champagne that is simultaneously structured, precise and deeply elegant.

Ideal to enhance a high-end aperitif, accompany delicate poultry or mark a precious moment, this 2015 paints a luminous portrait of Blanc de Noirs—between flesh, energy and festive spirit.

Assemblage et vinification

This cuvée is a Blanc de Noirs made from Pinot Noir (100%), all sourced from Grand Cru terroirs of the Montagne de Reims. Dated 2015, it captures the expression of a year with a clear identity, where ripeness and balance meet naturally. The Brut designation signals a pursuit of harmony, preserving the grape’s uprightness while wrapping it in finesse. Respecting the traditional Champagne method, secondary fermentation and aging on lees accompany the creation of fine, persistent bubbles, ensuring a silky texture and progressive complexity. Unadorned, the Pinot Noir expresses itself here with gastronomic stature, combining fruit density and controlled tension. The rare and exacting Grand Cru signature brings mineral backbone, clear length and an elevated carriage that set this celebratory wine apart. Every detail aims for aromatic clarity, delivering a style both pure and generous, true to the house spirit and the elegance of the Champagne AOC appellation.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Bright pale gold dressed with delicate, regular and luminous effervescence, leaving a fine collar of bubbles that underlines the cuvée’s purity and heralds a chiselled palate.
• Nose : Noble expression of Grand Cru Pinot Noir, combining impressions of ripe fruit and fresh citrus with a subtle pastry thread. Notes of fleshy fruit and a hint of bread crumb wrap around a mineral breath for a precise, harmonious bouquet.
• Palate : Straight and ample attack, velvety texture carried by perfectly integrated freshness. The structure is clean without stiffness, unveiling a savoury core and an uplifted, saline finish that extends the sensations with elegance.

Service temperature and tips

Serve this Blanc de Noirs between 10 and 12°C to highlight the finesse of its bubbles and the precision of its frame. A tulip glass or a champagne tulip will showcase the aromatic volume and the persistence of the effervescence. Open the bottle a few minutes before service to allow the cuvée to breathe and reveal its fruit dynamics. Store it away from light in a cool, stable cellar, bottle laid on its side. At the table, opt for attentive service, pouring gently down the side of the glass to preserve the foam and promote a clear reading of the bouquet. This 2015 is appreciated today for its energy and clarity, and will gain in complexity as it opens during the tasting.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs : aged dry-cured ham, Comté gougères, crispy vegetable tempura, light accras and parmesan shavings.
• Starters : veal carpaccio, tuna tartare, citrus ceviche, thin seasonal mushroom tart.
• Main courses : roast poultry with jus, confit and glazed pork belly, celeriac risotto with aged Comté, langoustine ravioli.
