Pinot-Chevauchet - Millésime 2010

A single-vintage Blanc de Blancs from an exceptional year, 100% Chardonnay Premier Cru, vinified without malolactic fermentation, with 15% in Burgundian barrel. Aged eight years minimum on lees, then one year after disgorgement, an exceptional commitment to patience. The 2010 vintage at Pinot-Chevauchet was considered outstanding, and the long ageing has developed a champagne of real complexity and maturity. Awarded two stars in the Hachette Guide 2020 and a Silver Medal at Decanter World Wine Awards 2020.

Tasting notes: Yellow with green tints and delicate foam with very fine bubbles. Fresh and delicious on the nose with honey notes enriching the bouquet. On the palate: gentle, very smooth and fresh attack. From an exceptional year, this champagne reveals a lasting finish with hints of citrus, quince, toast and brioche.

Food pairing: Perfect as an aperitif. Exceptional with sweetbread, truffles and semi-cooked foie gras.
