Champagne is the coolest wine-growing region in France and is subject to the moderate influence of the Atlantic climate. The region is known for its chalk soil.

• ASSESSMENT: Yellow, with warm reflections. Slim, dense and expressively concentrated bouquet. Ripe, very elegant aromas of citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons as well as vanilla and apples reminiscent of nougat. Very contrasting impressions on the palate. Fresh, pure, mineral, minimalist and extremely tasty. Energetic, exhilarating, ethereal finale.

• SERVING RECOMMENDATION: The wine is suitable for stronger types of fish or in combination with a creamy main course or mature cheese. Overall, a wonderful composition that enhances the day both in combination with a meal and on its own.
