Description

Harvested only in the finest years, with meticulous selection of the bunches and ultra-gentle pressing using the best free-run must. After fermentation, 5% of the wine ages in new oak barrels for approximately four months. It then ages for 10-12 years in the historic Gallo-Roman chalk cellars of the former Abbey of Saint-Nicaise in Reims.

Tasting

Bright yellow color with golden highlights, very fine and persistent perlage; rich, fresh, intense nose of ripe citrus and pastry; imposing and dynamic on the palate, savory and vibrant, with great aromatic richness and an extremely elegant finish with hints of citrus, licorice, and ginger.

Pairings

Shellfish and seafood, caviar, roast poultry, medium-aged cheeses.
