Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Pale straw yellow with a fine, medium-sized mousse that rises evenly and lively in the glass – a visual promise of elegance and freshness.
Nose
Powerfully red-fruited with redcurrant, raspberry and wild strawberry, complemented by pear, yellow apple and pomelo. Behind this, nutty-spicy tones unfold – almond on shortcrust pastry, lightly caramelised, like an almond tart. A subtle ethereal freshness recalls blackcurrant wood or fir branches. Herbal hints of savory, marjoram and sage lend structure. Above it all lies a salty-chalky minerality that makes the bouquet appear clear and modern.
Palate
Light-footed, taut and defined by high minerality. The acidity works hand in hand with the mousse, creating a vibrant interplay of freshness, saltiness and energy – like a salt-lemon effect on the tongue. Fruit and pastry notes join in sleek and elegant fashion, while dried herbs provide spice in the background. A Champagne that unites dynamism and precision.
Finish
Inviting, lively and elegantly unadorned – great drinking pleasure without heaviness, with a lingering mineral drive and refreshing length.
Terroir & origin
A Premier Cru from Champagne that impressively conveys the chalky minerality of its terroir and bears the modern signature of the House of Bonnet-Ponson.
Grape variety & vinification
The assemblage consists of 40% Pinot Noir along with 30% each of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Based on the 2022 vintage, this Champagne lives up to its name: a generous 40% reserve wines flow into the blend – tradition brought to life. 75% is vinified in stainless steel tanks, the remaining quarter in oak casks. The Extra Brut was released with a slender 1.5 g/l dosage.
Food recommendations
Perfect with raw fish such as tuna carpaccio or salmon tartare, with scallops in lemon butter, Vitello Tonnato, goat’s cheese or Parma ham with melon. The salty minerality harmonises superbly with oysters and seafood.
Special features
The Cuvée perpétuelle unites tradition and modernity through its impressive reserve wine component. An Extra Brut that celebrates purism while combining complexity with lightness – a Champagne for connoisseurs who appreciate precision.
