This signature blanc méthode traditionnelle cuvée has a bright golden-yellow colour with a persistent 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 long sur lie ageing.

As an aperitif it comes fully into its own, and it adds to the indulgence with shellfish, smoked salmon, oysters and scallops in a creamy sauce. It is also a stylish companion to white meat or fish dishes and goes surprisingly well with light desserts such as lemon tart or macarons.
