THE SENSORY EXPERIENCE

On the nose, a harmonious array of aromas (dried fruits, fresh citrus fruits, and white fruits) combined with seductive, slightly buttery notes. An explosion of flavor (toasted notes of milk bread and toffee) that provides the perfect conditions for the development of a great Champagne.

Jean Pierre Vigato, chef in Paris, on this champagne:

“Everything about this wine is special. It is a seductive Champagne. It is made from three grape varieties, each present in equal proportions, and then aged in barrels, which ensures a high degree of balance and elegance between the fine bubbles and the strong character. The Cuvée Brut Sous Bois can be enjoyed with a wide variety of dishes: from langoustines and white meat to a gently cooked veal shank with thinly sliced porcini mushrooms. This Champagne is a wonderful combination of character and delicacy. […] Raw or cooked shellfish, perfectly cooked cockles, or a risotto with mussels, squid, and saffron broth will beautifully showcase the potential of this cuvée.”
