The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a compact, focused structure, a soft and creamy mousse, and a chalky texture that brings extra definition.\n\nThe finish is lively and mouthwatering, marked by notes of mandarin and a clear mineral drive. While already delicious now, it has the structure and concentration to develop beautifully over the next 15 years or so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis vintage comes from Verzy and Chouilly in Champagne, with 80% Pinot Noir from Verzy forming the core of the cuvée. Historically, Chardonnay from Chouilly was included to soften the natural firmness of Pinot Noir, but in warmer recent years the Pinot Noir has reached full maturity and can stand confidently on its own, giving the wine greater density and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne is an excellent partner for refined dishes such as shellfish, sashimi, roast poultry, or creamy risotto, as well as aged hard cheeses.
