Blend

Tasting and appreciation
The deeply golden robe is covered with dynamic fine bubbles that form a dense chimney and creamy foam. The first bouquet is all elegance, followed by a strong second bouquet of succulent white and yellow fruit aromas accompanied by hints of floral, honey and brioche. The palate is an ample and structured harmony with full-body and freshness. It is light and refreshing and has notes of ripe white fruit, notably white peaches, but also dried apricot. The finish is long and slightly toasted.
Pairings
Grande Réserve Brut’s fruity and full-bodied taste perfectly pairs with casual aperitifs with simple and tasty dishes such as toasted bread with Chabichous goat’s cheese, mini skewers of apricot and duck breast filets, or tuna with peach verrines. It also wonderfully accompanies days by the seaside where raw, cooked, and grilled fish is served, like a salmon tartare, baked cod en papillotte or grilled red mullet.
