Pinot-Chevauchet - Le Temple

EXTREMELY LIMITED EDITION

The most exclusive cuvée in the Pinot-Chevauchet range, produced only in exceptional years. A single-plot Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs from the parcel called «Le Temple», limited to 3,003 numbered bottles. The 2021 harvest, vinified in stainless steel then aged three months in a large Burgundian barrel without stirring. No malolactic fermentation. Extra-Brut dosage at 3 g/l, the lowest of any cuvée in the range. A wine that reflects its terroir, its vintage and its grape variety with the clarity that only single-plot, single-harvest champagne can achieve.

Tasting notes: Magnificent golden colour with green tints and an elegant crown of very fine bubbles. On the nose: wonderful, floral and fresh citrus fruit notes, fine and melting. On the palate: structured, generous and full-bodied, complex aromatic opening. The extra-brut dosage maintains perfect balance. A long-lasting finish stamped by the Temple terroir, citrus and a pleasant bitterness.

Food pairing: An exceptional aperitif and a champagne that earns its place throughout a high-gastronomic meal. Outstanding with seafood, fine oysters and noble fish.
