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.

Characteristics

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.
