Harvest:
Start: Early, on 3 Sept. at Champagne Gardet.
Conditions:1st dekad, dry weather followed by a deluge of rain.
Characteristics: Excellent health and exceptional ripeness.
Summary: A warm year punctuated by good rainfall. Grapes of exceptional ripeness: high potential degrees and measured acidity.
Optimal serving temperature between 8 to 10°C (46 to 50°F).
COLOUR: Golden yellow, with fine, elegant bubbles.
NOSE: The first nose is very tasty, with aromas of white-fleshed fruit (juicy pear and white peach). This is followed by notes of delicate white flowers (jasmine and acacia), and finishes with more subtle notes of dragees and roasted hazelnuts.
PALATE: The palate is both fresh and creamy. The midpalate is full and delicious. Notes of lemon, brioche and then mineral follow to finish with elegant, lingering citrus zest aromas (lemon).
This Champagne can be served with canapés, finger food, or a cheese platter (aged Cheddar, Cantal and Mimolette). As a main course, it would be perfect with poultry cooked at a low temperature, langoustine ravioli, or a lobster nage with saffron sauce.
