Why Cave selected it

A Chardonnay Champagne with real texture as well as freshness: precise citrus, floral detail and a savoury finish that works beautifully with seafood.

About the wine

A precise, vinous Blanc de Blancs with green apple, tangerine peel and white flowers. The palate pairs bright acidity with a creamy texture, a touch of almond and spice, and a long, saline finish.

Made entirely from Chardonnay grown in Écueil and Trépail, this Premier Cru Champagne is based on the 2023 harvest and finished as Extra Brut. It has the tension for oysters or raw fish, and enough texture for richer seafood dishes.
