40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier.
“A deep golden robe marked by a delicate, orchestarted and persistent effervescence. The result of a slow and long maturing process in chalk cellars.
The 50 % reserve wines give an elegant nose : freshly baked brioche, roasted notes and ripe, sun-kissed fruits – mango, apricot, mirabelle plum- as well as dried fruits, pistachio and almond.
The texture evokes the crunch of a layer of creamy nougat, with fleshy fruits like plums and cherries. The smoothness is provided by the selection of reserve wines. The finish reveals amber and vanilla notes as well as a touch of praline…
Of the sixty Champagne crus chosen to produce this emblematic cuvée, three are pillars of the Brut Réserve style:
Oger :  (Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs) gives it its fleshy and generous notes.
Ambonnay : (Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims) is synonymous with power, structure and fruity notes.
Verneuil : (Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne) ensures its balance and smooth texture.”
