This cuvee is crafted according to the little-known concept of «perlé» champagne. Historically created for restaurants (for a glass of champagne or to accompany a meal), this cuvee is made to produce «demi-mousse», in other words, to be gently sparkling. When bottled, the «prise de mousse» responsible for the foam creation in your glass is limited by adding less sugar than usual (20g instead of 24g for full foam).
Its foam is thus extraordinarily fine and «creamy» so it intrudes on neither the palate nor the taste buds.
This is an excellent «Champagne d'Esprit», perfect for aperitifs; it will also blossom throughout your meal and astound your guests with is crisp, «elegant substance».

The 2016 Brut Cuvee Gastronome is a blend of Chardonnay mostly from Cramant, Chouilly and Cuis. It offers a compelling mix of dried herbs, lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers and earthy tones. Rich and creamy, with tons of persistence, the 2016 has so much to offer. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 10, 2021.

A round and creamy Champagne enlivened by orange peel acidity, this offers flavors of ripe pear, persimmon and melon fruit, lemon curd and almond paste. The lively mousse is zesty on the mouthwatering, mineral-tinged finish. Disgorged September 2021. Drink now through 2029.
