A prestige cuvée based predominantly on Pinot Noir, complemented by Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay – an overwhelming sparkling wine experience that confidently stands shoulder to shoulder with vintage Champagne in terms of complexity and depth.
In the glass, it shimmers with a delicate golden hue, crowned by a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, subtle berry aromas emerge, shaped by Pinot Noir, followed by delicate floral notes from Auxerrois, and refined nuances of citrus and apple contributed by Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay – all harmoniously bound together by elegant hints of brioche. The wine’s remarkable depth is already palpable.
On the palate, La Grande Cuvée reveals itself as dry, yet caressed by a noble fruit sweetness, offering a silky texture balanced by a perfectly integrated acidity. Crafted from the finest grapes of exceptional vintages and refined through extended lees aging, this Grand Cuvée delivers a compact, seamless mouthfeel and a dynamic tension that carries through to an endlessly long, citrusy, appley, lively, and animating finish with delicate yeast notes.
Chapeau! Welcome to sparkling wine heaven.
