The term Cuvée means the first juice that flows from the press (therefore the best). The grapes come from a single 68-year-old parcel of Avize: “le Clos du Grand-Père”. Cuvée adorned with a light gold color with discreet green reflections, the bubbles are fine and light. The nose is a bouquet of aromas which has evolved over the 5 years of aging in our cellars. Discretion of white flowers, hint of lychees and dried fruits, typical of great Chardonnays. The maturity on the palate is there, in the form of toasted hazelnuts and pastries, with a well-marked mineral finish. An old Cuvée for connoisseurs ... as an aperitif or with foie gras.
