The bouquet opens with fresh red berries, rose petals and citrus zest, then develops into notes of fresh figs, white peach and crisp almond macaroons, giving it both lift and complexity.\n\nOn the palate, it is precise and aromatic, with vivid flavours of mandarin, nectarine and cardamom, layered with a subtle exotic hint of cedar. The texture is silky and beautifully balanced, with the kind of structure and freshness that allow this cuvée to age gracefully for years in magnum, gaining further depth and nuance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade from 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay sourced from some of Champagne’s finest Grand Cru vineyards, this cuvée reflects a meticulous selection of top-quality fruit. The base wines are vinified as white wine, while 10% Pinot Noir vinified as red wine is added to create the final rosé blend, a method that contributes both color precision and aromatic definition. The 2008 vintage adds further freshness, structure and longevity to the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne is a natural match for refined dishes such as salmon, tuna tartare, lobster, langoustines, sashimi or poultry with delicate citrus and herb accents.
