Description:

Bright straw yellow with golden highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. The nose unfolds an elegant bouquet of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, with notes of brioche, toasted almonds, and a hint of minerality. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant, with a creamy effervescence and an impeccable balance between acidity and structure. The finish is clean and persistent, with a pleasant aftertaste of yellow fruit and yeast. Versatile, it is ideal as an aperitif or to accompany light appetizers, seafood, oysters, and shellfish. Excellent with fish dishes, especially delicate preparations such as carpaccio and tartare, it also pairs well with fresh and soft cheeses.

Virginie T. is an independent producer in the Montagne de Reims region, managing her vineyards according to sustainable viticulture principles. This brut Champagne is made from a classic blend of three traditional Champagne grape varieties, sourced from 15 different crus, 11 of which are classified as Grands and Premiers Crus, through a skillful blending of different cuvées. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for several months before being blended and bottled. It then ages on the lees for at least 24 months, lending it complexity and finesse.
