This special cuvée was made using grapes carefully selected only from Grand Cru and Premier Cru Villages at the time the classification of Champagne villages was established in 1911.

It has a gorgeous aroma of White flowers and citrus fruits, hence the name "Fleur de Champagne" (flower of Champagne).

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Color: Elegant pale gold color with strong silver highlights. Fine, slow-rising, elegant bubbles.
Nose: A consistently floral scent juxtaposed with complex aromas of almonds. A sophisticated, assertive, complex aroma of toast.
Taste: The texture is fine and dense, silky and delicate, with notes of citrus pulp, fig and a hint of eucalyptus. The finish is fragrant and slightly salty.

Roasted langoustine and Saint Pierre (John Dory)
