Numbered edition: 7357 bottles.
Recommended glass shape: a tulip-shaped, spherical glass with a narrower opening to enhance taste and aroma.
The 2028 harvest: a rainy winter and mild spring, and a dry, sunny summer herald optimal conditions for an early harvest. The latter is generous and in a state of near-perfect health, particularly for the Chardonnays. The Grands Terroirs have come into their own, thanks to the freshness of Champagne’s chalky subsoils.
A brilliant robe with silvery highlights.
On the nose
The subtle, complex nose reveals a multiple expression of fruit: mirabelle plum, candied lemon zest and white grapefruit. Notes of white flowers, acacia honey and fresh hazelnut.
In the mouth
The attack is clean and tangy, with notes of apricot, yuzu, white flowers and eucalyptus. Silky, elegant and fresh on the palate. A chiseled, complex wine with a long, saline finish.
This champagne is the perfect accompaniment to scallop ceviche with Granny Smith apple and a hint of basil oil, salmon gravlax with lemon thyme, lemon tart with almond shortbread or poached apricot with verbena.
10 °C
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
