Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Rich straw yellow with a subtle hint of copper and a fine, elegantly rising perlage.
Nose
An immensely inviting entrée: alluring aromas of fresh pastry, delicate vanilla, ripe apple and cherries, backed by juicy apricots, peaches and a cool, mineral note of crushed rock.
Palate
On the palate, the creamy, fine mousseux meets a brilliant, agile freshness. Mouth-filling notes of filled pastries combine with citrus energy, pome and stone fruit. The chalky soils of Champagne reveal themselves in a noticeable mineral vein and a delicate herbal spice that gives the wine drive and grip.
Finish
The long, multi-layered finish shows an exemplary balance of lively acidity, subtle sweetness and a fine, chalky minerality.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes hail from the chalky-clay Premier Cru sites in Ludes and Villedommange (Montagne de Reims) as well as from the Vitriat (Vavray Grand). François and Pierre Huré draw on the versatility of these terroirs to unite structure, freshness and elegance.
Grape Variety & Vinification
A classic cuvée of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. Based on the 2021 vintage, complemented by 25 to 40% reserve wines from the house’s own solera. Disgorged in November 2024 after three years of lees ageing, with a delicate dosage of 4.5 g/l (Extra Brut).
Food Pairings
A magnificent aperitif that pairs equally well with pan-seared scallops, crustaceans or fine poultry dishes with morel sauce.
Particularities
Serving as the house’s calling card, this Champagne impressively demonstrates the signature style of the Huré brothers: the integration of solera reserve wines lends this entry-level sparkling wine remarkable depth and vinous complexity.
