A staggering 40% of this NV style is made of reserve wines with an average age of at least 10 years, this is an extraordinary practice for a non-vintage style within the Champagne region.

The Brut Réserve boasts a deep golden hue. Delicate, vivacious and long-lasting bubbles are the result of a long, slow maturing process in chalk cellars.

Thanks to 40 % of reserve wines, the blend oers a complex, elegant, voluptuous nose with a touch of freshly baked brioche, rich toasted notes and sun-drenched fruits – mango, apricot and mirabelle plum – accented by dried fruits, pistachio and almond.

The texture is reminiscent of a crisp layer of nougatine on a velvety cream pastry, lled with plump red plums and ripe cherries. e selection of reserve wines gives the wine lushness. e nish reveals a touch of praline along with vanilla and glazed notes.
