A case of harmony for grand tables, confidant of rare appointments, it deploys its eloquence in a long, precious, almost musical resonance.

Blend and winemaking

A vintage rosé, this cuvée is born of Champagne know-how that combines the precision of blending with the art of élevage sur lies. Crafting a gastronomic rosé requires constant attention, from the selection of base wines to the delicate attainment of colour, in order to offer a subtle hue and a nuanced aromatic expression. Time in the cellar, kept in the secrecy of the chalk cellars, allows the wine to gain breadth, tension and texture, until it reaches a balance where freshness marries depth. The final blend, signed with haute couture exactingness, aims for a lasting harmony capable of aging nobly over the years.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : luminous pink with peach and raspberry highlights, animated by very fine effervescence, like a lace of bubbles that catches the light.
• Nose : a refined bouquet of red fruits evoking wild strawberry and redcurrant, lifted by taut citrus, delicate floral notes, a briochey touch and soft spices. A sense of chalky purity brings drive and verticality.
• Palate : delicate attack followed by a harmonious build, satin texture and saline thrust. The fruit stretches with elegance, supported by balanced acidity and a persistent, sapid finish of great endurance.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve this vintage rosé well chilled, in tulip glasses that favour the development of the bouquet and the reading of its texture. Let it breathe for a few moments before serving to unveil its finest nuances. Store the bottle away from light, at a stable temperature, cork down. Enjoy in the coming months for the purity of the fruit or wait to gain complexity, according to your preference for more developed contours.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs : caviar, sun-dried tomato tartlets, thinly sliced Iberian ham.
• Starters : scallop carpaccio with citrus, pan-seared lobster with lemon butter, tuna tartare with sesame.
• Main courses : free-range poultry with morels, shellfish risotto, roasted veal fillet with a pearl jus.
• Cheeses : comté affié, creamy Brie de Meaux, lightly salted aged tomme.
• Desserts : strawberry-rhubarb tart, thin slices of candied citrus, lightly toasted almond biscuit.
