With a very high proportion of pinot noir, one is savoring what is nearly a blanc de noirs. A champagne of great aromatic richness, the taste begins with stone fruits such as white vineyard peaches. A spicy note emerges in a powerful and complex mouthfeel. A vinous champagne of grand complexity, with a characteristic touch of quince jelly. Ideal as an aperitif, with white meat, fish of firm character and texture or Chaource cheese.
