This new vintage from the estate blends the three grape varieties of Champagne: 54% Pinot Meunier, 34% Chardonnay, and 12% Pinot Noir. It captivates the nose with notes of white fruit and fresh almonds, which carry through on the palate with delicate effervescence and a fruity finish featuring a refreshing hint of bitterness. A Champagne perfect for sharing and enjoying with friends.
