Pinot-Chevauchet - Distinguée

A pure 100% Chardonnay Premier Cru Extra-Brut, one of the most mineral and precise champagnes in the Pinot-Chevauchet range. Assembled from the 2016 and 2015 harvests, vinified without malolactic fermentation to preserve the full natural acidity of the Chardonnay. Aged five years on lees plus one year after disgorgement. The very low dosage at 3.5 g/l is described by the house as sophisticated and appropriate under-dosing, a deliberate choice to let the terroir and the grape variety speak. Regularly in the Hachette Guide, including 2026. Gault & Millau 2026. Scored 87/100 by two Best Sommeliers of the World in Tasted Journal.

Tasting notes: Yellow with green tints and delicate foam with very delicate bubbles. On the nose: fresh, intensive and blooming, a sign of ripe fruits. On the palate: citrus and dried fruit on the attack, full and tasty with honey notes, and an attractive minerality revealed by the sophisticated under-dosing. Complex with good length.

Food pairing: A champagne for aperitif and for the meal. Exceptional with oysters, seafood and semi-cooked foie gras.
