I certify that I am of legal ageA cuvée unique to our House, this «saignée» is crafted from our Premier Cru vines in Chigny-les-Roses to create this 2014 vintage. This Saignée expresses itself particularly through its power of red fruit.
- Weather:Contrasted: autumn and winter were mild and rainy, followed by a very dry, warm and sunny spring. July and August, however, were marked by heavy rainfall, with a particularly cool August.
- Harvest: Starts early September in the Montagne de Reims with ideal conditions in terms of warmth and sunshine. Characteristics: the grape bunches showed exceptional weight, with beautiful grapes.
- Summary: Overall, this warm year, punctuated by climatic contrasts, was both complex and surprising. It gave birth to fresh, lively wines full of character, while offering very satisfactory yields.
Optimal serving temperature is between 8 and 10°C (46 to 50°F).
COLOUR: deep, with redcurrant highlights.
NOSE: Initially reserved, it gradually reveals aromas of cherry and almond, stone fruit and enticing gourmand notes.
PALATE: A fresh attack on fruit notes. A very smooth, almost creamy palate. Intense aromas of candy cherry (morello type). Lovely length on the palate. A sweet finish.
WINE TASTING VIDEO:
Both fruity and generous, this champagne pairs wonderfully with red fruit desserts (morello cherry tart, cherry clafoutis) or blue-veined cheeses such as Bleu or Fourme d’Ambert, whose sweetness contrasts with the wine’s slightly tangy character. For a bolder touch, it will also enhance spiced duck dishes or pan-fried foie gras, where its fruity character and roundness will balance the richness of the flavours.
