This is a white Champagne made exclusively from Grand Cru Classé of Bouzy, one of the 17 villages thus classified at the very top of the Champagnes quality hierarchy.
This is a Champagne blend of Bouzy wines made from 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay grape varieties. After hand-harvesting, the cuvée is aged in French oak barrels for a few months, then bottled to be lowered into deep cellars for optimal ageing.
La robe is brilliant gold. On the nose as on the palate: a broad palette of red berries such as wild strawberry or blueberry or Burlat cherry, followed by hints of citrus from lychee to candied mirabelle plum ending on lightly woody and vanilla Italian bergamot.
Wine and food pairings: Marennes-Oléron oysters, gambas or lobster flambéed with Cognac Dubosquet XO, sea bass a la plancha, white meats with truffled morel mushroom sauce.
Perfect on a citrus tart with lemon or Crete apricots or a Norwegian vanilla and dark chocolate omelette.
Champagne par excellence de cave, protected from light and trepidation, bottle laid down with optimal hygrometry of 70%. Periodic tastings to measure the qualitative evolution of this exceptional Champagne.
