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