This signatureblanc-methode-traditionnelle-cuvee has a bright golden-yellow colour with a persistently fine mousse. The nose reveals fresh aromas of pear, apple, peach and citrus, mingled with brioche, vanilla and hints of ripe fruit and nuts thanks to the long sur lie ageing. On the palate it opens powerfully and fruitily, with toffee-like apple notes, chalky minerality and a soft, creamy texture; the acidity provides vibrancy and an elegant, saline finish
It comes fully into its own as an aperitif and adds to the culinary delight of shellfish, smoked salmon, oysters and scallops in a creamy sauce. It is also a stylish partner for white meat or fish dishes and pairs surprisingly well with light desserts such as lemon tart or macarons.
