A SPIRIT
OF EXCELLENCE!

A SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE!

Our aim is nothing less than Excellence. Being wine-growers and wine-makers is a passion for us. From the vines to wine-making, this passion allows us to offer you the best of our terroir. For the Baron-Fuenté family, Excellence is not only a value, it is part of our Spirit.

There has been a marked broadening of approach since 2011 with the transmission of the Lété-Vautrain family brand. Indeed, out of respect for and in honour of the family’s work, Sophie and Ignace Baron wanted to keep its identity and independence.

Tasting and appreciation

The light robe is enhanced by lively fine bubbles and a delicate foam. Its bouquet is elegant and fruity, revealing hints apple and pear. Its palate is composed of rich, clean and persistent aromas. Its wonderfully fruity core enchants the nose by harmoniously combining elegant notes of fresh and toasted bread. The finish is clean and savoury.

Pairings

Galipettes is complex and perfectly balanced and can be enjoyed at any time. It is excellent as a sunny aperitif, as well as with a fresh, light meal of steamed or grilled fish and poultry. This terroir cuvee demands respect, as do the products it accompanies, and will transport you to the vineyard and traditions of Champagne.
