Grande Sélection is elegant and powerful and brings out length on the palate from Pinot noir which predominates in this blend. A touch of Meunier and Chardonnay contribute to the complexity of this champagne.

Tasting notes

Pale gold tinted with a fine and tenacious mousse.
The initial nose evokes notes of bergamot, red apple, peach, black currant and a hint of fig. After a few minutes, it turns towards limestone mineral and clay humus, apricot, plum, exotic pepper, raspberry and strawberry notes, with iodinated accents.
On the palate, the wine develops itself with a pulpy and fleshy fruits density dominated by blackcurrant. The whole is refreshed by a pink grapefruit acidity that holds up to an harmonious, gourmet and melted finish.

Wine Pairing

Our suggestions :

The power and long finish of this champagne make it perfect match to gourmet appetizers: Brie de Meaux gougeres, honey and goat cheese macaroons, but also with dishes in sauce such as creamed veal with mushrooms.
