TASTING NOTES
This cuvee is made by Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, from grapes grown by his producer colleagues in this nearby village. He acts as the chef de cave for this project; he tastes, selects the cuvee, supervises the blend, and chooses the dosage after a series of trials. This is a well-balanced Blanc de Noirs with enough lift and acidity to act as an aperitif, but strong fruit character and depth, allowing it to be paired with an array of main courses. Paired with fried chicken, it reaches the apex of deliciousness. -Importer's Notes

“A lively Champagne, with pleasing harmony to the layers of racy acidity and the fine, zesty mousse, offering rich notes of whole-grain toast, baked plum, fleur de sel and crunchy white peach. Clean and citrusy on the lingering finish. ”
