Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Bouzy’s top slopes, it combines elegance, structure, and remarkable complexity, with the added prestige of a long lees ageing period that brings finesse and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shines with a golden-yellow hue and subtle green reflections, hinting at both maturity and freshness. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of hawthorn blossom, toasted almonds, honey, candied orange peel, moka, and a delicate touch of mirabelle liqueur, lifted by citrus, green apple, and forest berry notes.\n\nOn the palate, it opens round and delicate with a lightly sweet impression balanced by vibrant acidity. Brioche, candied white fruit, and pronounced toasted nuances lead into a long, harmonious finish marked by chalky minerality. This is a Champagne with excellent ageing potential, and the 2009 vintage is already showing beautiful complexity while still having room to develop further in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Millésime Brut is crafted from carefully selected grapes grown on the Grand Cru slopes of Bouzy in the Champagne region, where the terroir is known for giving both power and finesse. The wine is made using the traditional method, with extended ageing on the lees to build texture, aromatic depth, and a refined mousse, while low yields help preserve concentration and strong site expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as scallops, roast poultry, lobster, sushi, or aged hard cheeses, as well as lighter dishes featuring cream or butter.
