"Best-seller, simply sublime!"

"Often singled out by our tasters, this cuvée has won unanimous acclaim with this version, [...] which blends the three Champagne grape varieties (with 30% Chardonnay). We salute the springtime freshness of its nose, where white flowers are nuanced by aromas of citrus, yellow fruit and almond paste, well prolonged by an elegant, acidic and fresh palate". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2024).
